Tathra Wharf

Tathra Wharf is the only surviving wharf and building combination on the eastern seaboard of Australia from the period of the coastal shipping trade, commencing in the 1860s. The double storey building was added in 1907 and the last coastal steamer to collect freight was in 1954. Later came moves to demolish the wharf, which were opposed by the local community and the wharf was restored in the 1980s, finally being Heritage Listed. Further maintenance work was being done when I took this image.

For the first Friday of the New Year, I'd like to wish all my ipernity friends a very Happy Fence Friday, a great weekend and through 2023.
