Summary

View taken looking along the railway tracks running out towards the end of the Beachport jetty, with a couple of wooden structures to one side, and coiled ropes hanging from the railing. According to a researcher, this could not be Beachport, as the jetty did not at any time run so far out over land. There was a sea wall built to protect the coastline from high seas which was was still breached in 1932. There were no sheds at the foot of the jetty. All structures were across the road from the foot of the jetty. This jetty is likely to be Kingston or Cape Jaffa.
