Station Pier, Heritage maritime pier in Port Melbourne, Australia
Station Pier extends 933 meters into Port Phillip Bay, featuring eight railway tracks and four operational berths for large vessels.
The pier began operations in 1854 as Railway Pier, concurrent with the opening of Melbourne's first railway line to Flinders Street station.
The pier served as a gateway for immigrants during the gold rush era of the 1850s, welcoming numerous settlers to Victoria's shores.
Current facilities include designated areas for cruise ships and naval vessels, with a maximum draft capacity of 10.3 meters for berthing ships.
The structure represents the largest timber piled wharf in Australia, constructed between 1922 and 1930 to replace the original pier.
