Summary

Glenelg jetty. In 1859 the original 381 metre jetty was built with a lighthouse positioned at the end. This caught fire and was cast into the sea to save the jetty. A replacement lighthouse was built in 1874. Public baths, an aquarium, police shed and a three storey kiosk and tearooms were later constructed. The photograph shows youths balancing on the tram rails on the jetty
