Norfolk Island Pine Trees, Cleveland, Heritage pine trees in Cleveland, Australia

Five Norfolk Island Pine trees stand at 127 Shore Street North in Cleveland Point, reaching substantial heights above the surrounding landscape.

Francis Bigge planted these Norfolk Island Pine trees in the 1860s during his efforts to establish Cleveland as a rival port to Brisbane.

The trees gained recognition as essential navigational markers for local fishermen, guiding them safely to shore during unfavorable weather conditions.

Located along Shore Street North between the former Cleveland Hotel and Paxton Street, the trees remain visible markers for maritime navigation.

A photograph from 1871 captured these pines when they reached just above the height of Bell Vue house, documenting their early growth period.
