What is recorded here

Quay or wharf in Doohulla has iron rings fixed into the stone, giving the whole thing the look of a harbour you could pick up and take home. Somewhere there’s an uncle insisting it would fit in his trailer if you put it in sideways.

Coursed rubble limestone L-plan quay, built c. 1820, having rounded terminus to south-east end and battered causeway to north-west. Iron rings and recent steel ladders to north-east and steel railings. Conical bollard to south-east of pier.
This quay is of functional and historical importance in relation to the maritime history of the area. It is a reminder of the maritime activities of local fishermen and forms part of a modest maritime commercial complex. It displays fine local craftsmanship, the quality and quantity of stone work hinting at the expense of this undertaking. It makes a fine contribution to the architectural heritage of the locality.
