Summary

Port Willunga jetty after a gale in 1915. The photograph shows a deceptively calm sea and a high tide. The jetty has been broken in two with the rail lines left hanging. The crane is still standing at the end of the ricketty jetty. On the back of the postcard is a note from Hedley (?) to Edith (?). "I am sending you the remains of our old jetty. This was taken at the beginning of the winter. Goddon's is as it stands today. We are having a good season up to the present, plenty of feed and the crops are looking well. I have got all my land in except 60 acres. I think the price is going to be low this year. The farmers in North are offering their hay for 50 shillings in the stook...This dreadful war is still going on: about 140 pounds has been sent from here. With love, Hedley".
