Morayfield Plantation, Heritage sugar plantation site in Morayfield, Australia.
The plantation grounds contain archaeological remains including structural foundations, handmade bricks, and remnants of the original sugar processing facilities from the 1860s.
George Raff established this 2,500-acre sugar plantation in 1866, developing extensive operations for sugar, rum, and molasses production until its closure in 1889.
The plantation employed South Sea Islander laborers who worked in the sugar cultivation and processing, reflecting the labor practices of nineteenth-century Australian agriculture.
Archaeological investigations continue at 34 Nolan Drive, where visitors can examine the remaining structural elements and artifacts from the colonial sugar industry.
A tramway system transported harvested cane through the plantation using horse-drawn rail carts, connecting the processing mill to the river wharf.
