Cairns Port History and Early Local Pioneers
A long extract recalls the Port of Cairns opening in 1876 and traces early figures. It notes Daniel Spence as first port official, pilots like John Mulchrest and William Pron, and the original government works including the Esplanade trees, the McKenzie Park origin, and the Rotunda site for Cairns Town Band. It also mentions residents and families connected to early Cairns and the 41 year old shade tree on the Esplanade.
