The West Fyans Street Boat Ramp is a hidden gem nestled along the picturesque Barwon River at Newton—a fantastic launch spot for kayaks and small tinnies. With easy access to the water, it's an ideal gateway for adventurers looking to immerse themselves in the rich wildlife of the river, such as an array of birds, playful fish, and, if you’re lucky, the occasional snake gliding by.

But that’s not all! This vibrant spot also invites you to cast a line and try your luck at fishing, or hop on your paddleboard for a refreshing glide along the river. Just remember to prioritise safety while you’re out having fun!

The area is perfect for a leisurely day outdoors—bring along your furry companions for a lovely dog walk, hop on your bike for some fresh air, or set up a delightful picnic with family and friends on the lush, open grassy areas. You'll find picnic tables and shaded spots ready to accommodate your gathering.

Convenience is at your fingertips with accessible toilets and water fountains, ensuring you have everything you need for a great day out. Plus, ample parking means you can spend more time enjoying the scenery and less time worrying about where to leave your vehicle.
