Summary

[General description] This rail line leads the eye out to the end of the jetty where a coastal steamer is moored. The line is for hand trucks which are used to move cargo from the store to the ships. A group of men are gathered inside a half finished structure on the right where they appear to be having refreshments. Perhaps this is the opening of this jetty, privately built by Mr. Luke Cullen in 1877. On the left there is a brush fence, probably to prevent sand drifting across from the dunes.
