The Birth of our Location The original inner harbour or basin was constructed between 1837-1844 by a gang of 300 convicts. In 1841 the Sydney Morning Herald commented that "the excavation of a basin through solid and intensely hard rock was most laborious, nor was the damming against such a force and constant pressure of water an easy matter." Despite these efforts the basin soon proved inadequate to meet Wollongong 's increasing sea trade. In 1859 plans were drawn up for harbour enlargement yet during progress of the works it became apparent that these would also soon prove inadequate. After taking seven years to construct, at a cost of £44,892, the new basin was opened in 1868 by the Countess of Belmore. Improvements to the basin included deeper anchorages, longer wharves and several overhead coal loading platforms built on the high wall adjacent to the basin. Up to 15 large sailor steam ships could now berth in the basin.
