Hawkesburry River Moorings

[locodave]

Hi guys,

Just wondering about those big yellow moorings you see around the hawkesburry where the house boats tie to. Are they for any boat to use or to you have to rent them for the night?

Or is it first in, first serve?

thanks

i just tie onto any mooring i see

unless of course its one of the water police ones that tell you not to tie onto it

if a big boat comes and asks you to move coz you are on the mooring i move

Hi locodave...You should be able to get a list of public moorings from the maritime.... I tied off on a convenient mooring before only to be asked to move by what appeared to be the whole cast of world championship wrestling who swore blind they own the particular mooring and it might have been the case too...

Anyway there's an alternative, there's a couple of isolated yellow moorings on the outside of the row of moorings at wobby... there's seventy feet of water, a fast current and a long stillwater period, music coming from the houses, what more would you want. there's every possible comfort and an emphasis on catfish....

Cheers

Just tie up to any mooring and if some one comes back for it then just move to another, no biggie...

So these aren't the yellow swing moorings like I've got at Taylors Point??

I pay $380 a year to have ours ther and own the concrete block and the fitings.

Are there ones for general use??

I think the yellow ones have a 24 hour time limit on them

if you have a nav chart of any area the key will display

what they can handle in the way of length of vessel

[locodave]

Yea im talking about the ones that have the 24 hour limit on them, i don't think they let vesels over 14 metres use them, I just fit in (im a 4.1m boat)

I think they belong to Mount Ku ring gai, thats what they say on them. I think they are for anyone to use?

Mate your getting ripped off

No thats different, that is your mooring, the ones I'm tlaking about are on a 24 hour limit, im pretty sure anyone can use them.

if you buy the map for upper hawkesbury boating and fishing they show on the map how many public mooring in each area

My oldies go and stay at a place on bar point a few times a year.

Out Infront of the house just down river a bit there is a yellow mooring. The guy there told my old man it was his and my old man was free to tie up to it anytime he wasn't using it...
