Port Wine, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Port Wine is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.

[11] The Queensland National Bank relocated their business from Bogantungan (the previous terminus) to Pine Hill in November 1883.

[12] The town was described in December 1883 as:[13]"There is dust everywhere, not only in the streets but in the houses.You breathe it, you eat it, you drink it, you sniff it, touch what you will it is there.

It sometimes almost blinds you, and it will no doubt assist in producing premature deafness in some cases, for your ears get filled with dust and thus all the five senses are affected ... it ought to have been named The Dust Flat".On 22 September 1884 the railway line had reached its new terminus Alpha and Pine Hill was described as "unsuited for permanent settlement".

There was criticism of the Queensland Government for profiting from land sales in short-lived terminus towns like Pine Hill.

The town's name lives on in the locality of Pine Hill to the north of Port Wine.
