Geocache Description:

The first regular landing place, described as Port Misery, was a long way up the river where a relatively narrow strip of mangrove separated the channel from the sand dunes that provided refuge at high tide level. The water was too shallow for larger vessels, which had to anchor upstream of the site of the present Birkenhead Bridge. All passengers and cargo were then offloaded into small boats, which were punted across the tidal swamp before their occupants were carried ashore through the black sticky mud for which the Port River had become so notorious. Few people wrote an account of the early port without mentioning the mosquitos. Once ashore the traveller could stumble across the sand dunes to reach the track that was later to become the Old Port Road. ( Source Port Adelaide Tales from a “Commodious Harbour” page 48)

A small plastic cammo container with note pad and pencil but room for small items if you wish.
