Why this spot
Mary River immigrant port from 1847 and Queensland's largest port by 1905, the Wharf Street precinct keeps its bond store, customs house and warehouses
Port and precinct history documented including the 1899 Customs House (QHR 600709), riverbank bottle and ceramic material is inferred from the port record, not from published digs
