Download coordinates as: Steiglitz is a rural coastal town and locality in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

[1] Steiglitz is bounded to the east by Moreton Bay, to the south by Jacobs Well, to the west and north by Woongoolba.

It was referred to as an island because there were a number of lagoons and swamps that isolated the area during the wet season; however, this disadvantage made it good land for growing sugar cane.

Despite being one of the oldest sugar mills in Australia, it is still privately owned by the Heck Group, a family company of five generations.

[9] On 16 August 1924, the Rocky Point Sugar Mill tramway was officially opened by John Appel, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Albert.

The tramway was a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge and the steam locomotive that operated on it was from John Fowler & Co. in England.

Although there were hopes from local people that the tramway would be extended to connect to the South Coast railway line at Ormeau and to the Steiglitz wharf onto Moreton Bay, as a form of public transport, neither of these extensions were built and passengers were not carried.

The locomotive was used as a static display in a number of locations including Gilltraps Auto Museum at Kirra and the Dreamworld theme park before returning to the mill as part of a vision to create a historical precinct, which never eventuated, so it was donated in 2013 to the Beenleigh Historical Village.
