Palmer River dredging venture eyed as salvation for Queensland
In a historic Australian dredging saga, 1900s Palmer River plans progress despite capital hurdles. Melbourne and Victorian promoters evaluated huge prospects in Victoria and New South Wales. David Morgan assessed river grounds and urged dredging, while Palmer Aluminium Syndicate and Palmer River Gold Co. formed to exploit hydraulic dredging. Early tests showed potential payable sluicing material, with 28 shillings per cable yard value and promising recoveries, though capital constraints delayed full development. The venture stirred optimism that the Palmer field could revive Queensland mining and attract British investment.
