Description

Moreton Bay (later Brisbane) was established as a penal colony in 1824, used as a place of secondary transportation for hardened convicts who had been convicted of further offences after arriving in New South Wales. Upon arrival a temporary wooden building was established to house convicts on Queen Street (now the city's main thoroughfare), in the vicinity of today's Brisbane Square. It was used until stone structures were opened in 1828.
