Today's Glenelg jetty is a far cry from it's 1858 origins, when it was double the length, and featured an aquarium halfway down, tea rooms, a kiosk, an edible snow machine and a windmill. The jetty also featured a horse advertising pony rides that washed out to sea in a wild storm! President of the Marine Life Society of South Australia, Steve Reynolds, said to Caroline Winter, "I'm told the aquarium had thirty-six tonnes of water".
