Petrie Bight, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Petrie Bight in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, circa 1910. The sharp curve in the Brisbane River at the northern ends of the Town Reach (upstream) and the Shafston Reach (downstream) around the tip of Kangaroo Point is named after early Brisbane builder Andrew Petrie, who established his workshop and residence at the corner of Wharf and Queen Streets in circa 1838. The image reveals a vibrant scene of the past, with a horse-drawn tram making its way along the wharf, passing by the iconic Customs House. The Customs House, a significant landmark, served as a crucial point of entry for goods and people arriving by sea. The telegraph pole in the foreground hints at the burgeoning communication infrastructure of the time. In the background, the Adelaide Steamship Company's vessel is docked, adding to the hustle and bustle of the busy waterfront. Petrie Bight was a hub of activity, with the movement of people, goods, and ships contributing to Brisbane's growing economy. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into Brisbane's rich history, showcasing the city's connection to its past and the role that the river played in shaping its development. The blend of horse-drawn trams, steamships, and the Customs House encapsulates the spirit of a bygone era, making this image a captivating addition to any collection.
