The passenger's luggage was stored in those buildings on the right where you can see a white door and three sloping roofs.

Passengers could choose a few personal items to take with them and use during their time of quarantine but these items needed to be steam cleaned which damaged paper, books and photographs and caused the natural fibres in blankets and clothing to shrink.

There were offices within the luggage store for the doctors to use. A doctor would meet each ship as it came in to the wharf. 

The ships tied up at this wharf.

Carriages carrying luggage ran along the
railway line to the luggage store and also to the
steam cleaning centre on the left of the photo.
