There are more Old Wives (Enoplosus armatus) here than in the Imperial Harem of the Ottoman Empire.
Actually a harem is not the group of women but a sacred place reserved for them to reside protected from the perils of the outside world.
In some ways the 'T' of Rapid Bay Jetty jetty is just like the Imperial Harem. It offers the group protection from the open water predators and has it's own sacred feel.
I'm looking forward to revisiting this harem again soon.
