Port Douglas Wharf, Historic wharf on Dixie Street in Port Douglas, Australia.

The wooden structure extends into Dickson Inlet, featuring a large storage shed that accommodates maritime activities and social gatherings.

Constructed in 1904 to handle cargo shipping, the wharf served as a critical sugar export facility until 1958, connecting Port Douglas to distant markets.

The Queensland Heritage Register listed structure represents the maritime development of northeastern Australia and the region's sugar industry legacy.

The waterfront facility now functions as an event venue capable of hosting 200 guests indoors, with reservations managed by Douglas Shire Council.

Former shipwreck museum that endured the devastating 1911 cyclone, which left only seven buildings standing in Port Douglas.
