How fast is too fast?

We have several different speed limits in the Swan River upstream of the Narrows Bridge and downstream of Blackwall Reach but perhaps we need to adopt one uniform speed limit, aside from designated jetski and ski locations? The wake from boats pound the beaches, seawalls, boats in pens and smaller craft on the river so what if it was an 8 Knot blanket speed for power boats (and sail boats under power) to stop the wash and save a few million litres of fuel? After all isnt the journey as important as the destination? What is the rush do we really count saved minutes as being the difference between a good or bad day? I think knot!

Swan River Saviours

Have a look at the flooding of The Esplanade pre opening of The Narrows!   A massive amount of river bed has been taken away to allow for progress and this in a country where land is barely scarce! No chance this would happen today! My logic says if you are halving the surface area you need to double the depth?

Swan River Saviours

Ever wondered if Dolphins and Fish can read? Chemicals and paints and solvents carry warning messages such as dont inhale vapour, wash off skin immediately, wearprotective clothing, do not ingest, induce vomiting if ingested etc etc but what about the occupants of The Swan? How do they protect themselves from these man made chemicals that are dumped illegally or ignorantly into this waterway? Their only chance is to rely upon us to safeguard them from these dangers so if you see anything suspicious or unusual in your part of The Swan report it immediately! Even stopping small amounts of dumping or spillage helps the environment!
