Old Windmill (The)
Wickham Terrace, Brisbane, AustraliaTel: +61 (0)7 3221 8411 (City Hall Tourist Information Centre) • Web: Visit this site »
In 1828 convict labour was used to build a windmill near the Brisbane river. More than 170 years later the convicts' handiwork remains as the oldest surviving building in Queensland. "The Old Windmill" was built to grind flour and maize meal for the young penal settlement. It was converted to a signal station in 1861 and used for experimental radio and television broadcasts in the 1920s and 1940s.
