Plan of the limits of the town of Brisbane, 1843. On 10 February 1842, three years after the penal colony officially closed, the district was proclaimed open to free settlers. New residents found a frontier town with vestiges of suburbs, basic government buildings, a network of roads and a navigable river. This map, by the Surveyor in charge of the Moreton Bay district Henry Wade, shows the Commissariat Store (C Store) and Windmill. Also plotted are the ferry crossing to South Brisbane, saw pit, hospital, survey office, post office, gaol, police barracks, church, factory, Government House, wharf, government garden, and old burial ground.
