Summary

[General description] Steam and horse-power work together at the new Wallaroo jetty. A smoke plume puffs from the funnel of the Swedish steamship Unden as she lies alongside the new jetty as bags of wheat are hoisted aboard. A small locomotive approaches along the jetty and some heavy horses can be seen behind a wagon. In the foreground rail tracks criss cross the jetty. [On back of photograph] 'South Australia / New Wallaroo jetty, first vessel to load wheat. Opened for traffic Aug. 1, 1927'.
