<p>North Parade and Queen's Wharf in Port Adelaide, South Australia, 1860. 
</p>
North Parade was the Port's main shopping area until the late 19th century. Queen's Wharf was officially opened as part of the 'New Port' in 1840. The New Port was an ambitious joint venture by the government and South Australian Company to provide two new wharves and warehouses and a new road: the foundation of the Port we know today. Queen's Wharf is immediately to the east of the Birkenhead Bridge (which was not built until 1940).</div>
