Last time i was there (May 2010 i think), it was closed due to issues with electical cables. Have they re-opened the gates yet? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the one they were excavating a trench to install high voltage cables for. I was there maybe 6 months ago and it was still locked up coz they are forming more blocks to tip over the side. Inner harbour breakwall on the coal terminal side is open as far as im aware. Musty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musty Been to the coal terminal side breakwall a few weeks ago, there was a security guy minding the gate. He was in a car and waved hands to us to get us out of the breakwall. Haven't been to the south side breakwall, think it's permanently closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie007 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) yep the south break wall is closed they have patched all the holes in the fences with rebar and they have also extended the tug boat wharf fence to block off the whole lot now even though they did have a "fishing permitted" sign up i guess its for safety reasons people were getting swept off the break wall and drowning all the time what makes it worse is now everyone is fishing at bass point where there wont be any quick rescue if someone goes in the drink all though i have read on a forum they have installed a life bouy on the rocks Edited December 21, 2010 by gazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay83091 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 They are making it even harder for us to fish from the land. Is Bass Point worth going? (Off the rocks?) I can see a giant jetty close by, Can we fish there? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
