Pinkenba Wharf, Industrial wharf in Pinkenba, Australia

Pinkenba Wharf is a cargo wharf and former cruise facility in Pinkenba, Queensland, on the north bank of the Brisbane River beside the former Pinkenba railway station. A railway spur built in 1902 ran directly onto the wharf, linking ships to the line from Ascot. P&O Cruises based Pacific Sky and Pacific Star here until 2006, and the site served as a part-time cruise terminal until mid-2022.

Pinkenba Wharf was built in 1898, a year after the railway line was extended from Ascot to Pinkenba. In 1902 a short rail spur was laid to serve the wharf directly, letting goods move between ship and train on the spot. The wharf later handled P&O Cruises ships Pacific Sky and Pacific Star until Portside Wharf opened in 2006.

Pinkenba takes its name from binkinba, a Turrbal word recorded as referring to a place where land tortoises gathered. The Turrbal are the Aboriginal people of the Brisbane area, and the suburb and wharf carry this name. The wharf itself has no naming ceremony or monument on site; the name is the main cultural trace a visitor can note.

The wharf is accessible only by water and rail as it sits deep within the port grounds. Visitors should know this is an active operating facility where public access may be restricted.

The 1902 rail spur let cargo move directly between the wharf and the state rail network, a link that made Pinkenba a working port rather than a passenger stop. P&O Cruises based the Pacific Sky and Pacific Star here until Portside Wharf opened in 2006.
