Title |
Wheat Stacks at Port Wakefield |
|||
Description |
Port Wakefield was ideally situated for exporting cereals from its hinterland and many farmers shipped wheat and other grains through the port. As early as 1887 narrow gauge (3 feet 6 inches [1.068 metres]) railways linked wheat-belt towns such as Blythe, Balaklava, Bute and Snowtown to Port Wakefield. Wheat was stacked until a ketch arrived to export the harvest. In 1909, 300,000 bags of wheat were exported from Port Wakefield.
