The Southport Bar was a very dangerous entrance until 1986 when the Gold Coast Seaway was constructed. There are now two rock walls to stabilise the position of the entrance.
The southern training wall of the Gold Coast Seaway is the northern end of the Gold Coast Oceanway.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:

—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
