[32] In 1874 it was noted that none of the land sold at Herbert had been developed due to its inaccessibility overland to Rockhampton.

[36] By November 1895 work had commenced on building a wharf at Broadmount and on the detailed survey of the railway route.

[41][42][43][44][45][46][47] In February 1899, the coastal steamer Premier was forced to use Broadmount wharf during the flooding in Rockhampton, becoming a regular arrangement.

[52] In August 1905, the Queensland Government agreed to the establishment of a provisional school near Thompson's Point (the headland) as there were 31 children living in the area.

[56] The school was built to be portable as it was believed that it might no longer be needed once all the harbour improvements were completed.

[57] On 1 January 1909, it became Thompson's Point State School It had some temporary closures due to low student numbers before it permanently closed in 1929.
