What's the go with Brighton beach, for any forum members who live near there?

Are you allowed to 4wd on the beach if dropping off a jetski, is there a boat ramp section? Is it OK to drive through where everyone has put their beach towels and set up to enjoy the beach?

Anyway soft sand and fun and games ensue.

[Dr Smith]

The nearest boat ramps are in St Kilda and Sandringham unless Royal Brighton Yacht Club allows jet ski's using it's private ramp. ..NOT...

Morons doing as morons so...

Wish I'd known at the time.
No vehicles allowed on any Melb. metro beach.

Was all over Reddit when it happened on r/Melbourne, all the anti-car cucks over there were cheering it on because they hate the RAM and Silverado.

Shows them as armchair worriers; they could have flash mobbed the beach and helped push the cars.

Into the water.

The occasional goose on Stockton beach would get caught out driving down to the Sygna wreck.

I believe the plural should be “Pradi” per Latin rules.

Just another media beat up story, this is very common up north with people and their play toys, not hurting anyone except for the owner's pride & wallet, being labeled gooses for their stupid decisions.
You can rest assure it is good business for local salvage companies.

Nah; there is no Latin root involved as it's from Spanish for meadow so plural is prados. Put "prados" into a online Spanish to English translation tool and you get "meadows".

A bit like the plural for ibis not being ibi but ibises, or if you must be quaint, the classicalplural ibide. I used to all too regularly trip over these issues all the time during my last 20 years of work in WA Fisheries in the early 1990's with fish names where we always had scientists on hand with fish taxonomy degrees all to ready to correct us and point out when a Latin root was not involved. It was so bad that I started to think Octopus was the only fish name involving a Latin root. It also got that way in those pre-internet days, where there was no easy way to quickly check, that I found myself trying to write all my (then mainly economics) papers in a way that I could just use the singular for any fish or animal species I needed to refer to.

Then there's was the confusing platypus where per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus

There is no universally agreed plural form of "platypus" in the English language. Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Alternatively, the term "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is a form of pseudo-Latin;[20] going by the word's Greek roots the plural would be "platypodes".

Of course there are no platypus in WA (as far as we know despite some misguided attempts at translocation into WA the 1950's and perhaps earlier see https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&s...wb7GektsCFBrg6 . But nonetheless I still had to occasionally write advice regarding the odd reported but always unconfirmed sightings in WA and then always get involved in the debate with others with their differing views about the correct plural.

Meh, I look forward to this type of proof of a Explorer, Territory or Everest still capable of finding themselves in that kind of predicament 25yrs post production..lol

Cars will be pilloried with neither fear nor favour, irrespective of their brand, in this thread Just depends on how fully sik their drivers try to be.

aussieblue, WA fisheries, eh? Oh the conversation we could have regarding the GWS coming back to WA waters in numbers in the last 30 years...
