Story
About this place
Before Barney Point’s coal stockpiles, Gladstone’s town wharves handled ships, a curved railway, and cattle yards on the foreshore. The 1927 view shows the jetty, a steamer, and beasts penned for loading. Tag port, wharf, rail and meat. Do not merge it with the live Barney Point pin or with the 1974 coal-mound frame that stayed in the coal chapter.
