Abstract

The South Brisbane coal wharf was constructed in 1884 in an attempt to establish an export trade for the West Moreton Collieries. For almost 25 years it fostered a market in bunker coal for visiting ships and railway coal for central and north Queensland. However, it failed to secure an export market because of the poor quality of the Ipswich coal and the unsatisfactory facilities it offered. The paper presents the history of the wharf, and examines the reasons for failure.
