Goodaywang Wharf - Point Clare

Goodaywang Wharf at Point Clare was built in 1841 from naturally shaped sandstone obtained from the local area. Prior to the development of the road network around the Central Coast, the primary form of transport to move goods and people around the region was via the Brisbane Waters.

At low tide the general outline of the wharf is visible along with some of the larger foundation stones.

The wharf was quite large and the extant of the wharf can be seen from these photos.

This photo shows some in-situ sandstone blocks. Initially, I thought these may have been blocks from the wharf. However, after reading the description of the wharf construction on site, I believe these are an example of how the blocks were found on site prior to being used to construct the wharf.
