The wharf on the Murray River at Morgan in early morning fog

The wharf on the Murray River at Morgan in early morning fog. The town was once one of the busiest ports on the river. The heritage-listed structure began life in 1877 and was eventually 168 m long. After severe storm water damage in 1993 more than half its length, including the oldest section, had to be demolished. Morgan, South Australia, Australia

Pylons of Princes Pier

Pylons of Princes Pier. Princes Pier was constructed between 1912 and 1915 to complement the neighbouring Station Pier and until 1969 was the arrival point for many new migrants. Destroyed by a series of fires in the 1990s and 2000s, the pier is currently under restoration and the pylons have been preserved and serve as a marker for the historic site.
