The oldest known colonial-built fishing boat in South Australia is "falling to pieces" at a disused dump, but there is still hope it can be saved.
The Rambler was built in Birkenhead in 1878 with Margaret River jarrah, kauri and redgum in the design of a traditional English fishing boat known as a smack.
It was used as a fishing boat, racing yacht, a mail boat, and even to collect ballots in early South Australian elections.
