About
Photo taken during the recent meetup at Shorncliffe, Queensland. The clouds were not that fabulous but when I headed towards the end of the pier I spotted this beauty concealed from the surrounding trees.

See my set for more.

History
Shorncliffe pier is situated in the suburb of Shorncliffe, Australia near Saint Patrick’s college and lower Moora Park. This pier with its white faded timber railings, colonial street lamps spaced out along the stretch of pier, and resting shelter towards the end of the long pier is an iconic feature of Shorncliffe and a much visited attraction for families, residents and tourists to the area.

During the early history of Shorncliffe and its neighboring bayside suburb Sandgate, both were beachside suburbs visited by Brisbane residents for day trips and holidays. In the late 1800s there was enough activity in the area to erect a pier thus beginning the construction of the Shorncliffe pier. In 1865 a company was formed to construct the pier and 7 years later the pier was finished in 1872.

The pier now still stands reaching out into the bay over a century later. An iconic feature of the area, the pier is the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race in April and is an element in many photographs and pieces of art circulating Brisbane art galleries. With views of Redcliffe peninsula, the Boondall Wetlands, Moreton Bay Islands and the Shorncliffe cliffs, this iconic pier is a feature in the nautical landscape of this northside Brisbane suburb.
