The Elbow Boat Ramp, also known as the Eastwell Boat Ramp, sits along Eastwell Road in Australind and provides convenient access to the scenic Collie River. This spot features a single concrete ramp paired with an elbow-shaped floating jetty, making it well-suited for both boat and kayak launching.
The name “The Elbow” comes from the point where the Collie River bends sharply, creating a distinctive curve in the waterway. The area is known for its peaceful, natural setting and is a popular place to cast a line, enjoy a quiet paddle, or simply take in the views.
Located on the Dandjoo Bilya (Twin Rivers) Trail, the ramp is an easy stop for walkers wanting to enjoy the outlook, just keep in mind that the trail surface becomes sandy near this section.
Facilities at the ramp include public toilets, ample parking for cars and boat trailers, and lighting for evening use. However, there are no wash-down services available.
With its calm waters and attractive surroundings, the Elbow Boat Ramp is an ideal starting point for a relaxed day on the Collie River, whether you're boating, kayaking, or simply exploring the nearby trails. Make sure to follow standard marine safety guidelines when heading out.
