It seemed fitting that the splendid clipper
ship City of Adelaide - the oldest clipper
ship in the world – crossed the Equator
to pass into the Southern Hemisphere on
Christmas Day.
Her arrival in Port Adelaide, after years
of negotiation and fund raising, is indeed
one of the finest Christmas presents
the Port could hope for. But her arrival
raises many more questions, starting with
where she should finally be located, and
also, possibly even more importantly,
what should become of the rest of Port
Adelaide’s fabulous maritime heritage.
These were issues that were debated
at an important public forum held in
January on Port Adelaide’s maritime
history. It saddens me that we have lost
such important features as Fletcher’s
Slip, as an operational slip, the Port’s
first slipway and an absolute crucible of
maritime history.
But there’s a huge amount – much more
than the SA Maritime Museum has
room to display – stored away out of
public sight in one of the Port’s massive
dockside sheds. Right now, only the
pigeons get to see what’s stored away.
The time is right for the South Australian
community to have a say in what
becomes of these hidden treasures. There
can be little doubt that there is solid
support not just for finding the right,
prominent and accessible home for the
City of Adelaide, but also for properly
celebrating our maritime history.
To me, the obvious answer is Hart’s Mill,
where the City of Adelaide could lie in
state ashore only metres from the One
and All and Falie, while the restored
mill itself would provide a much more
capacious home for the SA Maritime
Museum. In a double benefit, the existing
museum could become an arts and
cultural hub with galleries, workshops
and studios. This is the way we will really
bring new life to the Port.
In the meantime, we’re also bringing new
life to Klemzig, with the opening coming
up of the revitalized Klemzig Reserve
with its new oval and band hall. This has
been a tremendous project for both the
Council and the community, and it’s
now complete.
