Small craft near Port Wakefield wharf
Identified by Searcy as being at Goolwa (with seamen are standing near a small steam train). A. Presgrave believes it is more likely to be either Port Pirie or Port Wakefield, based on the fact that the locomotive is a V class which was narrow 3 foot 6 inch gauge whilst all railways at Goolwa are broad 5 foot 3 inch. Another researcher also believes this is a Port Wakefield view. A third researcher agrees that this is Port Wakefield wharf, and the locomotive a NG V class shunting loco. It is trailing a water gin wagon as water storage on the loco itself was limited. Johnston,s store is in middle foreground, with wheat bag storage sheds along the wharf in the distance.
