This image shows the ‘Reed<br />
Cutter’ on Herring Lagoon<br />
trench. This boat was used to<br />
transport workers and supplies<br />
through Herring Lagoon trench<br />
over to the beach side of the<br />
Island. The ropeway along the<br />
side of the trench was used to<br />
transport minerals from the<br />
beach side to Dunwich. The<br />
ropeway was decommissioned in<br />
1964 when Tazi Road was built<br />
across the Island and minerals. At<br />
this time, minerals started to be<br />
transported by truck.<br />
