Due to recent heavy rainfall waterways are currently carrying lots of debris, including logs and rubbish.  Also, note that crab pots may have shifted due to stronger than normal currents.  If you do go out boating, take extra care to avoid possible damage to your vessel.  Remember to keep a proper lookout.

You have to be 16 years of age in order to have a boat and  jet ski licence.  However, you can attend the course up to six weeks before your 16th birthday.  You must wait until your birthday to present the Certificate of Competency at any Queensland Transport Department.
