whats the point in going somewhere so beautiful and peaceful and ruining it with a ****ing jetski ?

dusta, thought you might live this

Cockle Creek?

I hate jet ski's too (when they are buzzing around disturbing the peace in the line up) but if there is no one else there then they are not going to kill anyones peace and quiet.
Still think I would rather pack a few supplies, take my time and do the kayak thing.

It is an amazing corner of the world that I would love to go back to and spend a bit more time exploring.

I am guessing you "jetski dislikers", have only witnessed the hooning element of jetski riders.

However I use mine to access some very remote spots and travel a great deal of distance, all of which could not be possible in the time frame I have. The ability to trave up to 150kms and access some very remote spots is what makes it special. On that trip we saw two boats and a handful of people [in four hours and 120kms]

Tasmania is a special place, I enjoy it and appriciate, however for some of you I do own a jetski !!!

Please don't knock something until you fully understand it or have done it. Jetskis have a bad rap, and I fully understand the % of idiots that use them spoil it for the likes of us.

Don't worry to much, when you go there you wont even know there had been a jet ski there before you, yet your impressions of the place will be just the same as all those before you

Jet ski should be getting a mega silencer making them absolutely quiet within 100 meters even if it means losing 50 HP.

One jet ski is bothering people within a couple of kilometers with that horrible repetitive engine tune as it bounces on the chop.

Most people go down the beach to enjoy the tranquility, the noise is the main issue not the hoons.

I realise that they are probably not much louder than a motorbike but the sound reflects off the water making it a 100 time more bothersome.

Until jet skis become quiet, shoot them on sight

I am guessing you guys may be a tad annoyed we have this awesome state to ourselves.

Please don't knock something until you have tried it

(at the risk of offending 2.5 % of the population, the old chestnut about Tassie )
