Part of the decked area has since been asphalted. The Pier off Kerferd Road, Albert Park, is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria.

Sunset is a wonderful opportunity for us to appreciate all the great things the sun gives us. In photography, the golden hour is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky. When the sun is near the horizon, sunlight travels through a greater depth of atmosphere, reducing the intensity of the direct light, so that more of the illumination comes from indirect light from the sky, reducing the lighting ratio. More blue light is scattered, so if the sun is present, its light appears more reddish.
