Story
About this place
The same 1929 visit recorded the coal side of the harbour: a steam crane, a hopper of coal, and rails along the wharf, with a small steamer in the stream. It is bunker and cargo coal at the northern port, not a colliery jetty and not Hay Point. Tag coal, port, wharf and rail.
