Free Xmas Turkeys.

[rayke1938]

Free xmas turkeys catch your own at PRFMA boat ramp NPD.

Photo only showing about one third of the flock so plenty for all.

You could also bring a wheelbarrow and shovel and collect some good garden fertilizer guaranteed to clear your sinus.

Time to try some of the measures we discussed a few months ago!!

The aroma gives you an incentive for quick launches and retrieves

Scarecrows scare away birds, so perhaps a fake shark or crocodile tethered to a pole .......

A rubber snake scared them away last time, got me in also I had to throw a rock at it to see if itwas real.

worse smells around. Try loading 12 on of half blown  hides and tallow..took a week to get the stink off me and the smell lingered in the deck of the semi for a year.

You get a lot of meat off them but they taste a bit fishy. But the beak does make a good back scratcher,  Chrissy present for the Mother in law perhaps.

on a more serious note, i would imagine that they create a pretty bad slip hazard...

Hi Ray

Do you know who is responsible for the upkeep of the ramp, will only take someone who has some litigious bones in his or her body to go arse over and hurt themselves and lawyers will be involved, even if the responsible party has erected a sign as an attempt at cover all by declaring anyone using the ramp does so at their own risk, they will still face a possible duty of care lawsuit, particularly if the party responsible for the reasonable upkeep of the ramp has been notified by someone of the dangerous situation faced by users of the ramp , due to the mess the pelicans have made of the ramp.

Public boat ramps are generally administered by Main Roads in conjunction with the local council authority, in the case of NPD it may be SEQ Water, however not sure.

Just saying

I have the scars on my left knee to confirm the ramp does get slippery, had to be dressed each day for 2 weeks.

[rayke1938]

it is not a public ramp.Used to be a couple of stiff brooms beside toilet for cleaning slime off edge of ramp but I dont know if they are still there. The only slippery bit is right on the waters edge. Waste of time pressure washing the ramp as its shitted up again next day,

Snake sounds like a good plan. I must say it is a pretty bad smell.
