The Jetty Project

 Rosetta Head - better known as The Bluff, has what is called a jetty but which is actually more of a wharf or fishing platform. It's several hundred metres  around the northern edge of The Bluff on a single lane dirt road. Fairly popular with fishermen, it seems.

 Just before the bridge out to Garden Island and Torrens Island, where the North Arm meets there Port River, there is a jetty and an adjacent floating wharf which I think is a market on some days. The wharf was fenced off when we visited. It was not so substantial as to warrant another visit. West of the wharf is the jetty. It's fairly short with an arm to the right at the end. Fortunately, it wasn't locked when we visited. On the outside of the jetty is a wave barrier of wooden slats. It's a working jetty and had a number of moored fishing boats. They clearly have booms that swing out but I'm not sure what sort of fish they catch.

 I wasn't aware of this jetty - it wasn't on my list and I stumbled across it on Google Maps. And I don't recall having seen it before, although it's next to a boat ramp I've used several times. It looks like it has been there for quite a while, which is to say that most of the timber was weathered, other than the few replaced planks. I'm not sure if this is correct or whether it has been re-used or rennovated as it's clearly never been a working jetty. It is more of a boardwalk or fishing platform, as it largely runs parallel to the mangroves and only a few metres out. Sot there is a short base running out then it turns south east and runs parallel to the shore. And it is pleasantly popular with families fishing.

 Like my last post this is (obviously) not a jetty, but it's on the list that I'm using as a reference, so I have included it for completeness. Actually two platforms, a hundred metres apart, at the very end of Outer Harbour just west of where the cruise ships and car carriers dock. Both fairly new and it pretty good condition. Despite the cold and windy weather they both had quite a few people fishing.

 A wharf - not technically a jetty - but it's on the list and we had some time today, so it's included. This is a small wharf inside the breakwater on the north side of the Patawalonga outlet. There is a large boarding ramp at the eastern end of the wharf, a a quick search tells me that the Enigma III was a ferry that ran from Glenelg to Kingscote (or possibly Edithburgh in one article) in 1997-8. It was stopped as weed and sand silted the dock and required dredging. It is not particularly big or remarkable. In our few minutes there, one fisherman was setting up.
