The Hamilton Reach is popular for water sports. It is popular for recreational and competitive sailing. Historically, the Brisbane River had many commercial wharves used for the shipping of goods and passengers. However, with the growth in the size of ships, the increasing residential characters of the suburbs alongside the river, and the need to construct bridges over the river, most commercial shipping is now handled at the Port of Brisbane at the mouth of the Brisbane River and beyond into Moreton Bay through land reclamation. Former commercial wharves and associated on-shore industrial facilities along the Brisbane River are frequently redeveloped into residential and leisure facilities.

TEST FOR FORSTER CUP YACHTS The Weather Factor and Earlier Start GWYLAN AND DOLPHIN STAND OUT Weather conditions will play an important part in the first test race to decide the representation in the Forster Cup, to be sailed on Moreton Bay during the weekend. The claims of Gwylan, Dolphin, and Caress are strong, but Amity must be given a chance should the breeze be from medium to heavy strength. On Saturday the Brisbane Eighteen's Squadron will stage its first test for inter-state representation, the Sandgate raters, and 12ft. skiffs will contest the first heats of their clubs championships, and the cadet dingheys will sail the second heat of the Stonehaven Cup series.
