Hi All,
I will be working in SA for several months, everywhere from Mt Gambier to
Olympic Dam to Ceduna. I will be going through the Yorke Peninsula too and

Something else I can't work out how to tag is a jetty, the thing that juts
out into water and boats tie up to. But after 8 years of drought here,
perhaps I needn't worry too much.

Yup, in New South, when you have a concrete road way
built into the bottom of a creek bed, crossing the creek,
that's a causeway. Except it's a ford.

Really? We've always called 'em Fords here in SA, they called
causeways
