Townsville's Growth and Harbor Wealth Highlight 1860s Rise
Townsville, gateway to the Tropic North, grew from a 1863 port founded by John Bhick to a bustling city of over 20 000. The port supports ships up to 15 000 tons, with eight vessels berthed during a visit and a harbour value surpassing £400 000 annually. The town's wealth came from Charters Towers gold, Mt Isa output, and extensive port improvements including a £14 000 electric crane system and a half-million sewerage scheme.
