Port Lincoln - inaccessible

Image
 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.

Port Augusta

 For a port, Port Augusta has very little in the way of jetties. But on the west bank, opposite the old wharves in the harbour there is a boat ramp and on the south side of this is a short jetty. Unfortunately, when we were there it was fenced off. Presumably for repairs. But it looks like a nice jetty and we'll have to stop again when we are passing.

Henley

19th August 2018 This was a bust. Henley Beach is always crowded, so we had to park some distance away and walk to the Square. When we got there we discovered the jetty is under repair. The sign says it is re-opening in September, so we'll come back then and walk to the end.

Ardrossan

29th July 2018 The largest jetty in Ardrossan is owned by BHP and not publicly accessible. We took a photo for completeness. Then we went on to the town jetty, at the bottom of the ramp. The only people were a father and son.
