If you look at the photo I took from the jetty towards shore, you can see the swimming enclosure on the right.

I posted the image of the Common Galaxias, Galaxias maculatus to iNaturalist at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/227717715 , adding “Juveniles, I think. Many poor attempts at photographing the schools of small fish in the shallow brackish to saline outflow channels under the Causeway enroute to Cactus Beach and Point Sinclair.”
My friend Simon Naylor took this photo of the Ceduna jetty swimming enclosure on a separate work-related trip he made to Ceduna: –

The jetty is not visible in this image. The bit on the left which looks like the end of the jetty is actually just the first part of the enclosure’s access ramp (it runs north i.e. you turn 90 degrees right as you walk out the jetty, and it’s only about halfway or 2/3rds the way out to the jetty’s outer end).
Port LeHunte jetty
(Editor’s note: Port LeHunte jetty has become known as Point Sinclair jetty by the local residents. Port LeHunte itself is named after a Governor of SA, Sir George LeHunte (1903-9). The jetty was completed in 1911. Point Sinclair, said to be in Clare Bay, is named after one of Matthew Flinders’ crew, midshipman Kenneth Sinclair. The same applies to Sinclair Island and Sinclair Rocks. According to Port le Hunte | SLSA Beachsafe, “Point Sinclair is a 40 m high dune and calcarenite capped granite headland that has small beaches to either side (Fig. 4.185). On the east is the curving southeast facing, protected 650 m long Port Le Hunte beach (1325). The gravel road from Penong terminated on the 30 m high bluffs overlooking Port Le Hunte. A vehicle track leads down to the jetty, where there is a small informal camping area between the bluffs and a seawall. The low energy beach runs northeast from the jetty, with intertidal rock flats fronting the eastern half. There is a toilet block and fresh water at the jetty, but no other facilities. The 200 m jetty is no longer used to ship wheat, and a shark net has been strung along the jetty and back to the beach to provide a shark proof swimming enclosure. This is required as there have been shark attacks at the beach and at adjoining Cactus, the most recent fatal attack in 2000. The beach is usually calm, with a high tide beach and a narrow bar, then deeper water. During summer fishers launch their boats from the beach and moor them just off the beach.”)
