Competition yacht race at Hamilton Reach, on the Brisbane River

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  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.
