Geography

Foreshore and Tipplers Passage at Cabbage Tree Point, 2014

Steiglitz is bounded to the east by Moreton Bay, to the south by Jacobs Well, to the west and north by Woongoolba.

Cabbage Tree Point is a headland jutting into Moreton Bay (27°44′04″S 153°21′29″E / 27.7344°S 153.3580°E / -27.7344; 153.3580 (Cabbage Tree Point)).[4]

The town of Steiglitz is located at Cabbage Tree Point and the town is often referred to as Cabbage Tree Point. The name refers to the cabbage tree palms that grew in the area.[5]

History

Bethlehem Lutheran Church gathering, Pimpama Island (Carl Heinrich Heck is centre of the middle row)

The district is named after Stegelitz, Germany, the home town of the pioneer family Kleinschmidt.[6]

In the late 1800s, the farming district located between the Pimpama River and the Logan River called Pimpama Island and encompasses the modern localities of Jacobs Well, Norwell, Steiglitz and Woongoolba. It was referred to as an island because there were a number of lagoons and swamps that isolated the area during the wet season; however, this disadvantage made it good land for growing sugar cane.[7]

German immigrant families settled in the area in the 1870s. Lutheran services were held in private homes until the first church was erected in 1882, being replaced by the present church in 1908. The church was renovated in 1930.[8]

The Rocky Point Sugar Mill was established by Carl Heinrich Heck in 1878 on Mill Road (and crosses the boundary between Woongoolba and Steiglitz). Despite being one of the oldest sugar mills in Australia, it is still privately owned by the Heck Group, a family company of five generations. There were once other sugar mills in the area, but they have now closed and Rocky Point has expanded to replace their lost capacity.[9]

On 16 August 1924, the Rocky Point Sugar Mill tramway was officially opened by John Appel, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Albert. It went from the mill to Norwell to assist with transporting the harvested sugarcane to the mill, a task made difficult by the low-lying swampy land in the area.[10] The tramway was mostly built along the roadside (the roads having been built on the higher ground whenever possible) but it was still necessary to build a few hundred yards of causeway to cross the swamp (now drained) along New Norwell Road (approx 27°45′22″S 153°18′31″E / 27.7562°S 153.3086°E / -27.7562; 153.3086 (Rocky Point Mill tramway causeway)). The tramway was a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge and the steam locomotive that operated on it was from John Fowler & Co. in England. The locomotive was delivered to the wharf at Steiglitz and then carried on a large horse-drawn wagon to get to the mill. There were 100 cane wagons to carry the cane; these came from the closed sugar mill at Nerang. Although there were hopes from local people that the tramway would be extended to connect to the South Coast railway line at Ormeau and to the Steiglitz wharf onto Moreton Bay, as a form of public transport, neither of these extensions were built and passengers were not carried. The tramway was only extended to better access the sugarcane-growing areas in Norwell. Frequent flooding of the tramway was the cause of many derailments and there was difficulty maintaining the line during World War II, increasing the frequency of derailments. With the increasing availability of motorised transport after World War II, the tramway was closed in 1951. However, the rails and wagons were still used to move sugarcane around the mill, although the locomotive had been sold. The locomotive was used as a static display in a number of locations including Gilltraps Auto Museum at Kirra and the Dreamworld theme park before returning to the mill as part of a vision to create a historical precinct, which never eventuated, so it was donated in 2013 to the Beenleigh Historical Village.[11][12][13]

In 2001–2, a co-generation plant was added at Rocky Point Sugar Mill.[14][15]
