PORT HISTORY
The Port of Esperance's history dates from 1792 when the French explored the south coast of Western Australia, but was officially claimed by the British in 1802.
As a result of the gold rush of the 1890s the Town Jetty was built, followed by the Tanker Jetty in 1935.the opening of the Esperance Sandplain to agriculture in the 1960s and nickel discoveries in Kambalda resulted in a modernisation of the harbour facilities. Land back berths were added in 1965 and 1972.
THE PORT OF ESPERANCE is the only port in the south east of Western Australia and is one of the deepest in southern Australia.

PORT BOUNDARY AND ANCHORAGES
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
