Summary

Port Adelaide showing the S.A.Company's Basin. On the left is Dunn's Mill, recently erected, and the timber slip. Towards the right is the Railway Station. Notes on the back of photograph by William John Brind, the Colonial Manager of the South Australia Company from 1861 to 1894, state: 'photo shows 200 feet of wharf recently constructed, showing the timber slip, at the head of the Basin, and the position of two small cranes erected on the wharf. Along the front of this wharf the mud has been excavated down to the limestone crust, giving about 12 feet at low water. As the wharf front is made to rest on the limestone, we cannot venture to break it up to obtain deeper water'.
