More about this scene
Salt panning was an important industry in this area, and the output from Salthouse provided the local fishermen with all their needs. The salt marshes are famous for their varied wildlife. The ducks on this creek are well fed by motorists who stop to feed them from the coast road which runs in front of Bob Cooke's house (left), where he sold fresh bait and samphire, known as 'the poor man's asparagus'.
