205 x 150 mm. View showing sugar plantation on right and sheds, still in the process of being built, on the left, with the river in the background. The picture has been taken from the roof of one of the sheds (which can be seen at bottom of picture), and this gives an aerial sense of perspective. The date of this picture is at the height of the expansion of the sugar industry in Queensland, sugar being first manufactured near the Hastings River in 1823.
