Abstract/Summary February 2005 saw the second year of archaeological fieldwork at the historic Mill Point site, situated on the shores of Lake Cootharaba in the Cooloola Section of Great Sandy National Park. Mill Point is the site of one of the earliest timber settlements in Queensland, operating between 1869 and 1892. It has long been recognised as of State significance by the National Trust and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Mill Point Archaeological Project was initiated in 2004 primarily in response to community concerns about the long-term future of the site. The project aims to inform ongoing management and preservation issues as well as enhancing our understanding of colonial life in a rural setting. The 2005 field season specifically aimed to build upon the detailed survey work that was commenced during 2004. This year the site also became the focus for the research projects of two PhD students from the University of Queensland.
