Summary

Coast erosion at Beachport on the foreshore. During 1932 fierce storms battered the coast in the south east of South Australia. The photograph shows the aftermath of the erosion caused by the storms near Beachport jetty. Groynes have been built to preserve the sandy dunes but the damage to the shoreline can be seen. The rail leading to the jetty has been undermined and is hanging in mid air.
