The Aquarium Avenue Boat Ramp, located in Hemmant—a riverside suburb of Brisbane—offers a basic, single-lane concrete ramp with a floating timber pontoon that provides access to the Brisbane River via Aquarium Passage.
This is a no-frills launch site, best suited for tinnies, kayaks, and other small vessels. While launching is generally straightforward, extra care is needed to avoid damage to your boat. The ramp is tide-dependent, with a steep drop at the end, and the surface can be slippery when wet.
The nearby pontoon is currently in poor condition and should be used with caution. Additionally, with many boats moored in the area, it's wise to keep an eye out when navigating the water.
Facilities are minimal, and parking is limited, so planning ahead is advised. That said, the area itself is quiet and peaceful; an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
