Early Streets of Brisbane, Heritage site in Brisbane City, Australia
The Early Streets of Brisbane consist of Albert Street, George Street, William Street, North Quay, and Queen's Wharf Road, forming a grid pattern in central Brisbane.
The streets date back to 1825 when Lieutenant Henry Miller relocated the Moreton Bay penal settlement from Redcliffe Peninsula to the current Brisbane River location.
The street layout reflects the transition from penal colony to free settlement, with archaeological remains revealing details about convict life between 1825 and 1842.
The underground layers beneath these streets contain valuable archaeological deposits that document the development of Queensland's earliest European settlement patterns.
Burnett Lane, which runs parallel to George and Albert Streets, served as an exercise yard for prisoners during the penal settlement period.
