Port Molyneux : the story of Maori and pakeha in South Otago : a centennial history : commemorating the landing of George Willsher and his companions at Willsher Bay, June 28, 1840 : with a programme for the unveiling of the centennial cairn, erected by the Clutha County Council, June 28, 1940
[introduction]
In the “fifties” and “sixties” such roads as there were in South Otago all lead to Port Molyneux. An outstanding example still exists in the hairpin bend on the Main Highway at Mr. Jackman's residence at Romahapa. To–day it is an awkward corner for cars going from Balclutha to Owaka, but when the roads were made no one visualised that “the Port” would cease to be the centre of the South Otago world.

Shipping at Port Molyneux jetty.
Until late in the “seventies,” when the railway came to Stirling and then across the river to Balclutha, all produce from the Kaitangata and Inchclutha district went down the river by boat to Port. Molyneux.
