View from the Viterra Plant towards a ship being loaded with grain. The photographer describes the Viterra Plant: "One of the first buildings you notice when driving into Port Lincoln is the massive, white, grain silos of the Viterra plant on the foreshore of Boston Bay. In fact no matter where you go around Port Lincoln there is a good chance you will see these large, white, silo towers standing out like beacon. Viterra is a Canadian grain company, which exports grain from Australia and owns grain-handling facilities in Victoria and South Australia. They also process around two thirds of Australia's malt barley. After a week of ringing around I was finally granted permission to tour the plant and the wharf facilities where the ships are loaded with S.A. grain. Over a two-hour period I was lead through the plant by one of the company's Leading Hand, for a hour we climbed ladders, which lead to other ladders, which then lead to long overhead elevators which carried the grain to the waiting ships out on the wharf. I was amazed just how clean this whole facility was, in fact it was spotless. The views over Port Lincoln from on top of the silos are truly breath taking."
