Kingscote

According to my official jetty list there are four jetties in Kingscote. Unfortunately the actual jetties aren't so clearly labelled and it took a while to work out which was which.

The first one here is actually the most recent - the fishermen's jetty. It was built in 1956 after discussions with the Kingscote Fishermen's Association and upgraded in 2002, which is presumably when the ramps at each end were added.

Next to it is the Mooring Jetty. This doesn't look much like a jetty but that makes sense given its named purpose. It's a fairly unattractive metal structure.

Next jetty is the oldest existing jetty in Kingscote, the screwpile jetty. Built in 1886 it was originally longer, and built with only screwpiles - additional wooden piles were added later.

It became less important after the main jetty was built in 1910.

The first half of this was widened in 1956 to take motor traffic out to the ships, and later a loading structure was built for the Troubridge.

That structure, and the metal piles in the outer section, make it a fairly unattractive structure.

There is also a ruined quarry jetty at Reeves Point. This was built some time after 1850 and served a small quarry in the hillside which mined basalt for Adelaide roads. There was a hand-trolley on rails that ran out along the jetty.
