Some of the purchasers at that sale were Edmund Lander, James Campbell, G. Campbell, John D. Campbell, A. McCallum, Captain J. Swain, Robert Cribb and others. Very few of these blocks were built on by these original owners. James C. Moffat, a chemist from Brisbane established a cottage on the headland which now bears his name – Moffat Headland. Caloundra Timeline by Amanda Wilson courtesy Sunshine Coast Libraries Indigenous Point Cartwright, Moffat Head and Wickham Point had a number of
recorded pecked engravings on the shore platforms in the early 1930s,
including emu, kangaroo and numerous dingo footprints, along with those
of some small birds and a human footprint Over the years the
natural course of erosion by sea wave action and sun drying caused the
engraved sandstone to flake away, eliminating all trace of these relics.
