PORTS OF THE PAST - GAWLER TO BROUGHTON A fascinating day following the coast line to past ports of SA from Port Gawler to Port Wakefield, Port Hughes, Wallaroo, Tickera and Port Broughton. All these ports shipped wheat and grain to the world in the 19th C. Most had early railways and tramways to their hinterlands such as Wakefield, Wallaroo and Broughton. Man handling of heavy bags of wheat from carts to stacks to ships was arduous and required many workers boosting the growth of these ports. Some are now forgotten, or a transport hub, or a tourist centre, but only Wallaroo remains an international port. Why?
