Princes Pier – Named for Wills and Harry?

Saturday afternoon, after Jeff and BigBull took part in Arizona Jones sidewalk show, we headed back to the Port and took in Princes Pier.

Newly renovated Princes Pier.

 Princes Pier is the second largest wood pilings pier in Australia, which is right next to Stations Pier, the first largest wood pilings pier in Australia.  Princes Pier was made of 5000 wood pilings.  The area has been refurbished with the dock house being completely rebuilt and the dock area redone.  It has a lot of open space for events; hopefully we’ll get to see one in the future.

Some of the 5000 pilings.

The area is very artsy and the weird thing is that the Turnbull’s were in some of the art installations.

One of the really cool things about the space is that all of the benches are made from the hulls of old wooden boats that have docked at Princes Pier.
