Default Jet Skis in Brisbane

Hi,

Was thinking of buying a Jet Ski of some discription for the family when we move to Brisbane. We'll be somewhere around the Redland Bay area.

Are these allowed in that area and is there anywhere good to ride it ?

What are the laws concerning Jet Skis, are there designated areas for riding, etc. or do you just find somewhere quiet ?

Phil

The Redlands is QLD's 3rd top spot for Jet Ski ownership

You will need to get a licence at Queensland Transport.

Here is a useful pdf document: http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/qt/MSQ.nsf...plan_faq_s.pdf

That's why I want the Jet Ski rather than the surfboard... I reckon I can get outta there a bit quicker with an engine underneath me

I bet that guy had 3 adams apples for a while there !!! :scared:

Sadly the two things are mutually exclusive.
