Sumpter Wharf, Oamaru, New Zealand, built in 1894 specifically to accomodate the new frozen meat export industry. It's state of disrepair means it is out of bounds to humans but the Gulls and Parekareka (Spotted Shag) can still enjoy it. There are moves afoot by the local Historical Society to have it restored. The specks that can be seen on the breakwater behind the wharf are also Parekareka, sometimes it is completely full of them. There are two on the wharf, if you can spot them :)
