Fish Board Wharves (South Brisbane) taken from North Quay looking across the Brisbane River

These wharves were in operation from 1907 and was located on the south bank of the Brisbane River, a short distance from the Victoria Bridge. The fish markets were moved to Colmslie in August 1968. The building was demolished in 1968-69. Although convenient to city workers and local residents wishing to purchase their seafood, the aroma of the markets, particular on hot summer days, would have been strong, if not overpowering and was often the subject of complaints. No doubt, at least from this perspective, the moving of the fish markets was welcomed.
