Wheat Creek Culvert, Stone culvert in Brisbane, Australia.
The Wheat Creek Culvert, constructed of Brisbane Tuff stone, measures 16 meters in length with dimensions of 1,350 millimeters height and 1,330 millimeters width.
Built in 1861 by contractor H C Love for £830, this culvert represented one of the first civil engineering projects undertaken by the newly formed Brisbane Municipal Council.
The structure exemplifies mid-19th century engineering methods in Queensland, featuring local materials and construction techniques from the early colonial period of Brisbane.
A section of the original culvert remains preserved within King George Square busway station, allowing visitors to examine the construction methods of early Brisbane infrastructure.
The culvert incorporated Brisbane Tuff, a local stone material known as porphyry, demonstrating the use of regional resources in early Australian municipal construction projects.
