The Alonnah Jetty and Sale Yards
In the early 1900's Alonnah jetty was used by many vessels traversing the D'Entrecausax channel with cargo and passengers. On Thursdays a weekly trip to Hobart took passengers shopping for the day.
The Pontoon that takes the place of the jetty today is the last surviving section of the Hobart Floating Arch Bridge that was in used to cross the Derwent River from Oct 1943 - Aug 1964. This section was towed to Alonnah on 27th June 1972.
