Each mile of the original road was marked off with a post driven into the road by the seawall. In the Bay, the 10-mile post (now by the wall opposite 648 Portobello Road) was driven in opposite Camp Road (so-called because it was used to drag materials up to William Larnach's Castle, which he called "The Camp"), and the 11-mile post was placed towards the end of Smiths Bay, so Broad Bay township was then one mile long.
Here we are looking across from the bottom of King George Street to the early wharf, about 1902. Two of the jetties belonging to the Nees Family are visible, one opposite the slip site, the other at the bottom of Camp Road.
