The wharf on the Murray River at Morgan in early morning fog

The wharf on the Murray River at Morgan in early morning fog. The town was once one of the busiest ports on the river. The heritage-listed structure began life in 1877 and was eventually 168 m long. After severe storm water damage in 1993 more than half its length, including the oldest section, had to be demolished. Morgan, South Australia, Australia
