2004 Mill Point Archaeological Project Field Season Report

Welcome to the 2004 Mill Point Archaeological Project Field Season Report. Mill Point (or Elanda Point) in the Cooloola Section of Great Sandy National Park is the site of one of the earliest timber settlements in Queensland, operating between 1869 and 1892. In 2004, community concerns about the long-term future of the site prompted the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Noosa Shire Council (NSC) and University of Queensland (UQ) to collaborate in the first stage of a project to undertake a detailed survey of the site. The survey will inform management plans to help preserve the site for future generations.
