Hiking

The heritage listed Sugar Wharf was built in 1904 before the Captain Cook Highway connected Port Douglas with the rest of the world. With a train line running directly to the wharf, cart loads of cargo were transported directly to waiting ships. Though named the Sugar Wharf, originally it was intended to transport general cargo and minerals from the gold fields in the tablelands, but with the sugar boom in the late the Sugar Wharf became primarily a way to transport sugar to southern markets. The Wharf was last used for sugar shipment back in 1958.
