South Australia’s ketches linked town and country from the nineteenth century to the 1970s. They carried farm products, grain and minerals to the city and took anything to rural ports, from groceries to machinery.

The lighthouse is Port Adelaide’s icon. It stands at the end of Commercial Road marking the place where the city meets the Port River. Visitors can climb the seventy-four steps and take in the views of Port Adelaide, the coast and back past the city to the Mount Lofty Ranges.
