Story
About this place
Bowen shipped Collinsville coal from timber wharves on Port Denison long before Hay Point’s offshore loaders. The photograph looks down the jetty rails toward a ship, with a second trestle and its hoist out on the right. One figure at the lamp post is incidental. Tag coal, port, jetty and rail. Hay Point is already live; this is the older port.
