Well they could use the Geelong terminal...if Spirits ii and iii weren't using it. Point Henry pier is the >1km long pier for the (closed 2014) Alcoa aluminium smelter.

c1966 in one of my first trips at sea, we came across a harpooned whale S of WA, inflated and marked by a buoy. Never forget the smell or the sharks feasting on the carcase.
