Ramp Rats Have a Place of Their Own
Council has installed a new picnic table and shelter adjacent to the Nudgee Beach Boat Ramp on Kedron Brook.
A group of elderly ‘fishing experts’ have been regularly meeting at the ramp passing judgement on catches of the day, the weather, trailer backing skills and particular anglers’ ability. Apparently, horse racing tips have also become one of their specialties (no guarantees of course!).
The group has become affectionately known as the Nudgee Beach ‘Ramp Rats’ or the ‘Jury’.
To help maintain the ramp rats’ place in history, Council has agreed to place a plaque on the table in recognition of their service.
Mr Jimmy Pritchard of Nudgee Beach said, “Lies are forbidden at Ramp Rats’ meetings, but there is a fair amount of stretching the truth, fabrication and exaggeration”.
This facility will allow the ramp rats to continue their good work of keeping an eye out at the boat ramp and maintaining their status as an expert advisory group on all matters.
