Queenscliff Victoria, the Historic Pier.

 'Splitting' the bay beach in two is the historic Queenscliff Pier, opened in 1879 and used for a variety of purposes, including the unloading of cargo (smaller ships), housing the local lifeboat and passenger ships/ferries. It was closed in 1936 and is now primarily used for fishing, although the beautiful old wooden passenger waiting room is occasionally converted into a 'fine-dining experience' as part of the local Seafood Festival'

 Showing the passenger waiting room and the shed on the left that housed the old wooden life boats.
They were launched down a ramp that opened to the sea out through the double doors facing the sea.
