Just a stone’s throw away from the vibrant heart of Melbourne’s city centre, where the busy streets hum with the noise of life, at the Yarra River’s edge, there lies an old building shrouded in mystery — the Queen’s Wharf. This place tells of the fascinating story of the ghostly sightings that are weaved into the rich tapestry of Melbourne’s history. It started back in the early 20th century when Melbourne was still trying to solidify its footprint as a major city of the world. The wharf served as an essential link to the world, receiving goods and sending Melbourne’s exports. But the wharf was more than just a functional hub; it was a place of life, laughter, and, some say, eternal unrest. Legend has it, a young woman, beautiful but heartbroken, drowned herself near the wharf after her lover left for the war never to return. Since her tragic death, many have reported seeing a figure of a woman, dressed in period clothing, wandering aimlessly around the wharf. Her eyes filled with sorrow, she appears only for brief moments before vanishing into thin air. Many believe it’s the restless spirit of the heartbroken maiden, trapped in the purgatory of her unfulfilled love. Over the years, the legend of Queen’s Wharf’s ghost lady has become a much-recounted tale, captivating both locals and tourists alike who come hoping for a glimpse of the spectral apparition. Some dismiss the tales as mere folklore, but others claim to have witnessed the distraught ghost firsthand. While Queen’s Wharf has changed dramatically over the years, the ghost lady’s story remains a haunting reminder of a time gone by and the ever-present spirits that some believe still roam the streets of historic Melbourne.
