Urangan Pier is a historic pier in Urangan, Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia.
It is a former deep-water, cargo-handling facility originally built to facilitate the export of sugar, timber and coal. The pier, served by the extension of the railway line from Pialba,[1] was used for the transfer of cargo between rail and ships. It was built between 1913 and 1917,[2] originally to a length of 1107 metres. The pier was closed in 1985, and 239 metres of it was demolished. However, due to public outcry, 868 metres of the pier was left, and the land was handed to the Hervey Bay City Council.
By 2009 the last 220-metre section of the pier had been fully restored, and the original timber pylons had been replaced with steel pylons with a plastic covering
The original proposal to establish Urangan as a coal port for the Burrum River mining project did not eventuate due to several factors, mainly because the coal output did not reach original expectations. However, as the Wide Bay area was a chief producer of produce and freight, the Queensland Government made a decision to build a pier at Hervey Bay.

Construction on the Urangan Pier began in 1913. In order to reach the deep water channel, it was required to extend 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) (3690 ft) out to sea. Construction was very slow and finished in 1917. The Urangan railway line also began construction in 1913 and branched off the main railway line at Pialba. This line was extended along the Urangan Pier as it was being constructed. Once it was completed, it served as one of the main ports of Queensland.
Sugar was one of the main exports, however had to be transported from as far north as Bundaberg. When the Bundaberg Port was built in 1958, it took over sugar cane exports and the Urangan pier ceased exporting sugar.[5] Timber, general cargo and produce was still exported until 1960, when Caltex built an oil terminal adjacent to the Pier. Soon after this was built, freight, goods and produce exports were stopped and fuel became the only import from the pier.
After the last ship docked at the Urangan pier in January 1985, Caltex Oil reversed the process of storage, replacing the system of fuel service from Shipping to bulk supply by rail from the Pinkenba and Colmslie port terminals in Brisbane. This, in turn, lead to the closure of the pier and the Urangan branch line, as neither had a use anymore. At this stage, the pier was in serious need of repairs. A decision was made by the Queensland Government to dismantle the entire pier. Due to large public outcry, rallying and petitions, the demolition of the pier was stopped. In late 1985, the Queensland Government handed the pier to the Hervey Bay City Council. The council pledged to restore the pier, which began in the late 1990s. Restoration included removing the rail tracks from the pier, encasing the wooden pylons with steel, repairing sleepers, repairing hand rails, and repairing lights.
In 1999, the pier was restored to a length of 868 meters. It was officially re-opened by the then-governor of Queensland and the mayor of Hervey Bay, Peter Arnison and Bill Brennan (respectively) on the 27th of November, 1999.
A model of the pier was made by Mr Harry Coxon in 1917, the same year the original pier was constructed. It is a significant artifact in the Hervey Bay Historical Village & Museum’s collection. Two new models are on display in the Hervey Bay Tourism Visitor Centre and in the Hervey Bay Whale Watch office at the Boat Harbour Marina.[7]
Urangan Pier Festival
The first Pier Festival was held in 1986 to help raise funds to save Urangan Pier. Since then it has become a popular fishing competition held annually in September.[3]

This one comes from a bunch of large negatives. All are from southwest Germany (Baden-Württemberg) between Stuttgart and the Bodensee. Based on some hints on the other negatives, this must have been taken between 1908 and 1918.

Trudy loves to get human attention! After I had visited her in her room, I went next door and she kept watching me through the window. This beautiful cat was adopted on 27 November 2015, when thanks to "black (cat) friday" all adoption fees for all cats and kittens were covered by Best Friends and Zappos.com!

The latest addition to my impractical watch collection. A Pimp Watch from Japan. It was a birthday present, actually!
Since pretty much no one can tell what time it is the first few times they look at this watch, I'll give you a hint - the left and center image are just LED patterns. The image on the far right indicates that the time is 10:51 pm. Trust me, it does!
At rest, the watch is not lit up. But once you press the button the lights go wild for a few seconds, and then tell the time in this ridiculous way. This repeats every 20 seconds or so for the next 12 minutes. Pretty sweet!
Using one light souce.
Set-Up:
1.) softbox Elinchrom D-Light 4 on the
left side.
2.) white card on the right to bounce
the light from the softbox.
3.) Set Aperture to F22 to maximize the
depth of field.
Equipment: D700, 200mm F4
