  • Our Complete History
    Cairns Chamber of Commerce 100 Years of History Pre 1909 – setting the scene The decision to create a remote community on the banks of untamed Trinity Bay, and the arrival of several hundred intrepid settlers in 1876, were the genesis of the City of Cairns. Facing these pioneering men, women and children as they sailed into sight of land ‐ on board the Leichhardt, Victoria and Porpoise – was an overwhelming contradiction of dense mangrove swamps, mudflats and sand dunes set against a spectacular blue‐green mountain backdrop. Before them were timber shanties, tents, and make‐shift jetties niched into small clearings around the water’s edge. Watching from a distance were members of the local indigenous clans who had occupied this land for over 50,000 years. These clans – Yirranydji and Yidinji – settled into a defensive and uneasy existence with the new arrivals. Government hydrographic and survey vessels and fishermen anchored in Trinity Inlet during the decade or two before the Far North’s gold rush began. Hardy prospectors chasing gold on the Palmer River had begun arriving in 1873. Primitive infrastructure was erected on the foreshore to service the promising goldfields to the wild north, and newly discovered tin deposits around Herberton and Irvinebank in the largely unexplored hinterland. James Venture Mulligan’s announcement in Cooktown in early 1876 that alluvial gold had been discovered, led to a rush of nearly 3000 miners to Hodgkinson goldfield. His accurate warning that the find would not pay out went unheeded by miners and the government of the day, all in the grip of gold fever.
