The Jetty Project

 There are a number of jetties in Port Lincoln that we could not get to at all. The first of these, Kirton Point Jetty, used to be accessible.It is now fenced off as it is used for fuel transfers. It is only a short distance from Brennen's and visible from there. It is also curved, which is a but unusual. Then on the other side of Kirton Point, and visible from the Tourist Park, is a jetty at a private slipway. Finally, there is a large private jetty on the south side of Billy Lights Point. I'm not even sure what it is called or what company owns it.

 A small jetty on the south side of Kirton Point. It is within Port Lincooln Tourist Park and is mostly intended for guests. The first half is breakwater and the jetty itself is quite short. There is another breakwater which, with the jetty, form pincers or horns to protect a small beach.

 The big wheat jetty in Port Lincoln is properly called Brennen's Jetty, after the contractor who built it in the 1920s. The only public part is Berth 1, the arm that runs parallel to the silos. We also found that we could get some distance along the main jetty, under the grain conveyor. This section had a number of tuna boats moored on the south side and a tug on the north side. A short distance along there was a gate, but this was open and we could go another hundred metres or so, to the gate and fence which looked to be about half way along. From the base of the jetty Looking through the gate along to the end Looking back

 North of Lincoln on Boston Bay, there is really not much in North Shields. But it is on a very long, smooth, pretty beach and a pretty jetty.

 The town jetty has changed a bit since I was last here. The pool used  to be marked by wooden piles and weed-covered net. The new pool has wide floating platform edges. Some parts are very wide, which looks like it's designed to let people sunbathe. There are ladders down the inside and outside, as well as some narrow steps which some people might find easier. There are also a number of ramps which I recall as stretching down into the water but which now stop short and have ladders at their ends. Finally, there was a series of curved booms in the water beyond the jetty which look positioned to diminish the waves? These photos were taken over two days. First, some night shots taken on the 6th around 9pm. Then some photos the following morning. At this point it was extraordinarily windy. So much so that it was hard to walk straight, and you can see this in the chop.
