Bowen, Port Denison, ca. 1867

contributed by QldPics, taken in 1867
(contact QldPics about this picture)

One of the earliest photographs of Bowen, which was established in 1861. Looks out to the waters of what was then known as Port Denison (later Port of Bowen). By 1867, Bowen was competing with Townsville as the major port for the northern goldfields and pastoral industry. The jetty, seen in the centre of the photograph, was completed in 1866.

Bonzle has pictures of Bowen spanning 148 years taken from 1867 to 2015:

Bonzle's Photo History of Australia project is all about organising photos of Australian places by location and time.

We're trying to create the best, most organised, user contributed historical photo archive of Australia on the internet. So don't let those historical photos go to waste, upload them and share them with the rest of Australia and the World.
