She called at Port Lincoln, South Australia on 23 September 1970 to load frozen lamb from the local meatworks. First Federal/NZSCoy vessel to load there for over a decade. Meat was getting scarce on Southern Eyre Peninsular.

Yes Chris, a good spot indeed, always gave a ship an interesting background.
Those old photographers new what they were doing.

I'm guessing it would be taken from a launch?

Afavourite spot for many well known Wellington phtogrpahers of the time.

Agreed Tony, and there's also the most elaborate radar mast I have ever seen..

Love this type of photo, plenty of detail when viewed at full screen, there is a Union Co. crane boat along side the wharf astern of her.

Great photo Chris
