In the mid-1850s the track and road from the upper Dry Creek, past the Grand Junction Inn, to the Port, was variously called 'road to the Port',[REF] 'Port Road,'[REF] or 'Grand Junction' to (Port) 'Causeway Road' [REF].
Progress on the road was slow, and it was not until May 1857 that approval was given to metal (pave) the new road with compacted limestone [REF].
