New Wharf at Booral Set to Become Regional Hub
The Examiner notes Booral Wharf as the district’s future navigation hub on the Karuah River serving Booral Stroud Gloucester Bowman Copeland and surrounding areas. A brisk weekly steam service links to Sydney via Hawke and Williams cargo boats, with occasional Magdalene freight and constant timber traffic. Population is small, with 10–12 families, no building ground, and demand grows for Post Office telephones and a passenger coach. Local talk foresees larger vessels, a guest house, and a blacksmith as the wharf expands into a busy distributing centre.
