Comments: The Kuranda (ship) is docked at the Port Douglas wharf and is viewed from the bow. The bridge, funnel, masts and decking is well featured in this image. A military officer accompanies a group of women along the railway tracks near the wharf buildings. The image is part of a Kodak postcard. The reverse of the postcard reads: Front Street, Mossman, North Queensland, 5th Sept. 1917. Dear Ivy, I never got a letter from you yesterday but a postcard came from Minnie to Anne. This is the Kuranda at the Port Douglas Wharf. Mabel Lematy is still in the hospital. It has been very dry up here in these last few weeks. The members of the Gayndah Band sent Gil a gold medal for helping them while the show was on. Be sure to write every week or else I'll start and write to Kate. Where is Tango now? From your loving sister, K. D. Jones.

Comments: From: Daintree State School Anniversary "Daintree was still an isolated world within a world, the only access being by water or on horse back. The journey to Mossman by horse took about 6 to 8 hours as Barratt Creek, influenced by tides, could only be negotiated safely at low tide until a bridge was built in 1929. However, Daintree was ably serviced by sailing boat to Port Douglas and Cairns. Later the Osborne Brothers supplied a very efficient transport service by motor launch."

The ship anchored off Mossman Heads and transhipped cargo to SS Bee and Magie Logan for transport up Mossman River to wharf, thence over company tramline to present Mill Site.
