The shoreline of Urangan in Queensland encompasses some 7.5 km of coastline – ranging from the sandy beaches of cosmopolitan Urangan, to the quiet, Mangrove lined shores of the Great Sandy Strait, truly offering a diverse experience for all. Urangan forms part of the City of ‘Hervey Bay’ (proclaimed on the 18th February 1984) – what was once a group of seaside villages lining the shores of Hervey Bay – it has now grown to a large metropolis, where it is tricky to find the delineation between the townships . . .

I'll admit that I'm coming up blank for the moment. (Though I'm sure it will turn out to be somewhere completely obvious!)

Sharon Corbet Has everyone gone on holiday today?

Shadows, are we looking North East? Rapids/waterfall in the river which flows South into the harbour. Huge convent or maybe a barracks on the hill. Could it be Ballyshannon? I believe it is, the "convent" is the old workhouse. General View, Ballyshannon from the Eblana collection. We are looking a bit South of East

Niall McAuley is amazing! And so is Flickr! This via Aidan Devlin about the Mall pier / jetty / quay, centre frame - " ... This jetty was also the site where many thousands of passengers and emigrants who left Ireland during the nineteenth-century (particularly during the years of the Great Famine c. 1845 - 1851 and in the decades afterwards) on their way to North America etc. The port/harbour at Ballyshannon was hindered by the presence of a dangerous sandbar in the estuary, which meant that the larger ships could not come into the port but had to move the goods/passengers to and from smaller boats to reach the shore (goods were also regularly unloaded at Killybegs - then a subsidiary port of Ballyshannon and later transported to Ballyshannon by smaller vessels). This quay was apparently constructed or remodelled for a Dr. Sheil prior to 1836 and was later purchased from the Sheil family by the Ballyshannon Harbour Commissioners (for £137-10-00) in 1888. Works were carried out on the harbour by Robert Stevenson (1772 - 1850), a Scottish engineer, in 1835 – 6. The harbour/quay appears to have declined in importance by the end of the nineteenth-century. ..." Edit - above quote originally from www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/40852...
