The Jetty Project

Last time we were at Henley Beach the jetty was being repaired. They have finished now and it looks fine. The planks still have their red colouration and it will be interesting to see how quickly that fades to the grey that we're used to. It was windy and choppy, and the waves sent up spray around every pile.

Not actually jetties, but for completeness we visited the breakwater at North Haven Marina. These photos are from the base, there was no real path so walking out along it would have meant clambering over rocks the whole way. And this last picture looks out on the breakwater at the entrance to Outer Harbour.

Another smart, well maintained jetty. Slightly unusual as it starts wide but elevates and narrows a short way along. It also has a nice covered area at the end. I enjoy those little amenities which seem to encourage people to make use of the jetty. It isn't as long as Semaphore, which may be why there was nobody fishing on it (in fact nobody on it at all). The tide was out and it extended only a short way beyond the shore.

This is a nice jetty - long and wide. It looks like it was recently renovated - which is the case for several of the jetties along this stretch. There were several people fishing and catching crabs at the end, although there was a storm a few days ago, so the water is cloudy and full of stormwrack.
