Milang Jetty and Hand Crane

Milang Jetty, established in 1856, is a historic structure located on the shores of Lake Alexandrina in Milang, South Australia. The jetty features a hand-operated crane, erected in 1859, which is the oldest of its kind in South Australia. This crane was originally used to load and unload goods from boats navigating the lake and the Murray River. Today, the jetty serves as a popular spot for fishing and offers picturesque views of the lake. The surrounding area has been developed into a community and visitor resource, featuring a lawned area with barbecue facilities, seating, and public toilets, along with a large car park adjacent to the park.
