Can you confirm that the Jetty at the mouth of Cabbage Tree Creek has always been known as Baxters Jetty and if there was another jetty up further near Sandgate Road? It has been interesting finding out other information about the area from your blog.

I would love to know if you have any more information concerning those two staff or about the house at that time.
