Ron Cook Memorial Boat Ramp
Back in the early 1970`s, the Stony Point & Crib Point Foreshore committee, approached the Ports and Harbours Board to construct a boat ramp here at Stony Point. The Ports & Harbour declined the proposal, under the claim, "It will just silt up".
Well, Ron went ahead and did it any way, and with his old truck, loader bucket & plenty of steel cable, he built a drag line & dredged out the channel.
The Ports & Harbours agreed, that the channel would not "silt up" and assisted with the construction the boat ramp which is in use today.
"Good on ya Ron"
