Mr. Alfred William Mustart 13 / 01 / 1928 An Icon like the Jetty
An important event known as the "Jetty Stand-Off" happened in the 1970s
Alf or Musty (as he is know locally) along with Lil McCourt, kept a daily vigil for one week at the "Head of the Jetty" to stop the "Harbours Board of Adelaide" from entering this area.
Alf, who was a fisherman at the time, was determined that his "loved jetty" wouldn`t be shortened just passed the "slip - way" by the infamous "Harbours Board"
Throughout his working life at Beachport, after arriving in 1956, Alf`s passion for the jetty area was always evident.
No wonder the "Harbours Board" gave up and went home.
