Aerial view - Historic images - Walkaround : Mornington Pier Victoria Australia

The Mornington Pier is located in the township / suburb of Mornington Victoria Australia and is 66km (41mi) from the state capital Melbourne.
The township of Mornington (originally named Schnapper Point) was established in 1854. With inadequate roads to get to the small community, the decision to build the Mornington Pier was made in 1856, with two years for the build. Back in those days, the quickest route from Melbourne to Mornington was across the bay. The Mornington Pier originally cost about $17,000 (8761.25 English Pounds to be exact).
From 1858, the pier became the "social and economic heart of the Mornington Peninsula". (Source: Mornington Historical Society & Parks Victoria)
