The Australind Boat Ramp, tucked right next to the Ridley Place Foreshore off Old Coast Road in the town of Australind, is a super handy spot for launching your boat. A lot of locals even call it the ideal starting point for adventures out on the Leschenault Estuary, the Collie River, or even the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re into fishing, crabbing, or just exploring, it’s a great place to kick things off.

The ramp itself features two solid concrete lanes with jetties on both sides, making boat retrieval a breeze. It's well set up for boaters of all experience levels, and the calm surroundings just add to the laid-back vibe.

The Leschenault Estuary is part of the beautiful Kalgulup Region Park and is a real gem for nature lovers. It’s home to swan breeding grounds up north, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a friendly pod of dolphins cruising by. It's the kind of spot where you can take your time and soak in the scenery.

There’s a spacious lot with plenty of room for cars and trailers, and there are accessible spots for people with disabilities as well. A food van is also stationed at the edge of the car park for hungry visitors.

Adjacent to the ramp, you’ve got all the creature comforts at Ridley Place Foreshore; you'll find clean toilets, BBQ stations, picnic tables, a playground for the kids, walking paths, and plenty of grassy space for chilling out or kicking a ball around. And for the practical side of things, there’s even a gas station conveniently located on the other side of the ramp, perfect for topping up before or after your trip.

On top of all that, this spot serves up some stunning sunsets. Whether you’re wrapping up a day on the water or just hanging out by the shore, it’s one of those places that makes you want to stay a little longer.
