Jetties – Photography by David Brindley

Australian jetties, stretching like welcoming arms into the vast ocean, embody the spirit of the nation’s coastal charm. These wooden sentinels, weathered by salt air and sun-kisses, are silent witnesses to countless fishing tales and sunsets. They serve as communal spaces where locals and tourists alike cast lines, share laughter, and make memories. Each plank whispers of a symbiotic bond with the sea, offering a gateway to adventure and a stage for life’s moments. A stroll along their lengths reveals a tapestry of colorful marine life beneath and a horizon of possibilities above. As the sun sinks low, they become a canvas for the sky’s vibrant palette, reflecting the day’s end with a quiet, unspoken beauty that’s quintessentially Australian.

Ceduna Jetty

Ceduna Jetty, an iconic wooden sentinel stretching into the vast, cerulean waters of the Great Australian Bight, whispers tales of maritime heritage. Its timber beams, weathered by time and briny embrace, stand as a testament to the region's rich fishing past. A tranquil retreat, it invites locals and visitors alike to stroll along its 360-meter span, casting lines for the elusive catch or simply to revel in the symphony of crashing waves and squawking seabirds. As the sun dips below the horizon, it paints the sky with fiery hues, reflecting a spectacle of color on the jetty's dampened boards. The jetty, a silent witness to Ceduna's history, stands as a beacon of resilience against the relentless tides of change.
