The original site for Port Adelaide was a low island in a delta from the winter rains running of the Adelaide Hills. People had to walk across the mud flats to reach the dry land and the area became known as Port Misery. Governor George Gawler, October 1838 until 15 May 1841, wanted the Port to developed in the North Arm of what is called the Port River. The South Australian Company decided to build a Dock at the closest point to the dry land and this became the Port of Adelaide. The land around the Port Dock was raised 3 metres to stop flooding at Spring High Tides. Some of the original buildings still exist and their current front doors are actually on their second floor level. Adelaide to Port Adelaide Railway (1856) was the first government railway built in the British Empire, up until then railways were all private businesses. Adelaide to Gawler Railway was opened in 1859 The Dry Creek to Port Adelaide railway (1868) was a convenient way to get across the mudflats and remove the freight from the Adelaide to Port Adelaide Line. Small sailing vessels called Ketches were used to bring goods to and from the various port around the coast of the State. They were then transhipped into larger vessels if they were to be exported. Grain and wool were the major cash earning goods in the early days of the State of South Australia. 1957 the Gillman Rail Yard was opened and the Port Dock Rail Yard closed. In 2008 a rail bridge and a road bridge were built alongside each other to get from Gillman to Le Fevre Peninsula. 2015 the road component of the Northern Connector was funded, but the rail section was deferred for later consideration. The Building of a Sea Wall as a Viaduct for the railway line(s) around the northern perimeter of the Gillman Land is one of the options for the Northern Connector.
