Port Adelaide Lighthouse
Port Adelaide Lighthouse located at the mouth of the Port River, Outer Harbor. The lighthouse was erected and began service in 1869, and underwent expansion and renovations in 1874.

Port Adelaide Australian Rules Football player, Harold Oliver
A Port Adelaide Australian Rules Football player standing with his arms folded. A researcher has suggested that this is Harold Oliver (full name, William Harold Oliver), born on 12 August 1891 to James Oliver and Sarah (nee Mill) at Waukaringa, SA. Harold Oliver grew up in the South Australian Riverland, and after moving to Adelaide, played in the Western Suburban Association before making his league debut with the Port Adelaide Magpies in 1910. Oliver was renowned for his high marking, as well as his speed, exceptional ball handling skills and versatility. During World War I, Oliver returned to Berri to maintain his farm, before returning to league football in 1919, serving as club captain during the 1921 season and leading the club to victory in the SAFL premiership. Oliver played a total of 117 games with Port Adelaide from 1910 to 1922, kicking 89 goals. He retired in 1922 to his farm in Berri. Oliver married Myrtle Blanche Downer in 1913, and had three children: Beryl Ivy Oliver (b.1914), James Harold Oliver (b.1917), and Joyce Mary Oliver (b.1923). Oliver died in Adelaide on 15 November 1958. [Information from Australian Football website, Players page for Harold Oliver].
