The P.S Adelaide was launched on 21st July 1866. It was owned by J.G.Grassie from Poon Boon Station and the Officer Family of Murray Downs Station, Swan Hill. The Adelaide was named after the niece of the Officer Bros, Adelaide Blackwood. The shipwright who built her was George Linklater. The Adelaide brought wool and passengers from the wool stations on the Murray and Darling Rivers down to the Echuca Wharf. In 1872 she was sold to David Blair & Sons. She was used to bring timber from the Barmah Forest to the Echuca Wharf. She did this work for the next 80 years. In 1953 she was tied up near the Mill and left. In 1958 she went to Paringa South Australia to work in the sawmill industry again. In 1960 the Echuca Apex Club and The Echuca Historical Society raised enough funds to buy the P.S. Adelaide and return her to Echuca. In November 1963 she was lifted out of the water and placed in Hopwood Gardens as this was thought to be a way of preserving her. In 1984 it was decided to return her to the water to resume work as a passenger vessel. In that time the Port of Echuca and the Echuca Wharf had been restored as a Tourist Precinct. This photograph shows the beginning of the task to return her to the river. It took several weeks in March and April in 1984.The P.S Adelaide is extremely significant as it it the oldest known wooden hulled paddle steamer in the world. She was built in Echuca in 1866 and still operates on the Murray River today. She has worked in the Wool Industry, the Timber Industry and now the Tourism Industry.This is a coloured square photograph of an orange front end loader clearing a track from Hopwood Gardens down to the river.

In March 1984 the City of Echuca started the process of relocating the P.S Adelaide from Hopwood Gardens, where it had been a stationary exihibit since 1963. The relocation took several weeks and big crowds of people came to observe the process. This photograph is significant because it is one of a series of photographs capturing the relocation of the P.S Adelaide from the Hopwood Gardens back into the Murray River to be used as a workable paddle steamer once again. The relocation took place in March-April 1984.A coloured photograph showing detail of logs positioned under the P.S.Adelaide which is being towed by a tow truck.p.s adelaide, hutchinson, kevin, hopwood gardens

Two girls' rowing crews were noted in 1979 in The Ballarat Grammarian 1978-79. The first crew won the Ballarat regatta but was disqualified for not being affiliated to the V.W.R.A. The seconds girls' crew, the ninth boys' crew, and the tenth boys' crew were coached by senior oarsmen due to the shortage of coaches. The ninth crew was coached by M. Short, and the tenth crew was coached by P. Gray. The girls' seconds crew was coached by G. Forsyth and T. Jeffrey. T. Jeffrey was also Captain of Boats 1979. Prior to the commencement of term 1 a row-a-thon was conducted spanning one week and 200kms up the Murray and Darling Rivers. As a result enough money was raised to buy a racing shell (Boomalacka II) and a training shell (Beckworth III). The row-a-thon also provided perfect pre-season training.1979 appears to be the first year that a girls rowing crew was formed at B&QAGS. Jill Douglass wrote "1st Crew Rowing 1979 for the first time in the history of rowing at BQAGS and, for any Ballarat School - a girls' crew has competed in major regattas in Victoria. The crew Jane Harris (bow), Annabel Meek, Ruth Hobson, Jill Douglass (stroke) and Tanya Hunt (cox) trained for many weeks with the help and experience of Mr. A. A. Patterson. In the Ballarat Regatta on Lake Wendouree, on 10th March, the crew rowed in the Ladies' Novice four event and won. But disappointingly, they did not receive the trophies as the crew wasn't affiliated with the Victorian Women's Rowing Association. The crew also rowed at Scotch Mercantile on March 24th and though made it convincingly to the final, only managed to come third. The girls were looking forward to rowing, by invitation, in the Tenth's race in the Head of the Lake, but because some of the other schools weren't keen on them rowing against boys, they weren't able to compete. Next year, though, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Meyer hope to organise a Girls' Race with the other schools, which would be a major advance in the development of girls' rowing in Ballarat.Coloured unmounted photograph of crews competing in a regatta on Lake Wendouree in 1979hunt, douglass, meek, hobson, rowing, girls, patterson, meyer, head of the lake, ballarat, lake wendouree, ballarat grammar, b&qags, ballarat regatta, regatta, 1979

This photograph of the plaque on the side of the P.S Adelaide while she was a stationary exhibit in the Hopwood Gardens from 1963 until 1984 tells the story of her manufacture and her work life up until 1963. The P.S Adelaide was launched on 21st July 1866. It was owned by J.G.Grassie from Poon Boon Station and the Officer Family of Murray Downs Station Swan Hill. The Adelaide was named after the niece of the Officer Bros, Adelaide Blackwood. The shipwrights who built her was George Linklater. The Adelaide brought wool and passengers from the wool stations on the Murray and Darling Rivers down to the Echuca Wharf. In 1872 she was sold to David Blair & Sons. She was used to bring timber from the Barmah Forest to the Echuca Wharf. She did this work for the next 80 years. In 1953 she was tied up near the Mill and left In 1958 she went to Paringa South Australia to work in the sawmill industry again. In 1960 the Echuca Apex Club and The Echuca Historical Society raised enough funds to buy the P.S. Adelaide and return her to Echuca. In November 1963 she was lifted out of the water and placed in Hopwood Gardens as this was thought to be a way of preserving her. In 1984 it was decided to return her to the water to resume work as a passenger vessel. In that time the Port of Echuca and the Echuca Wharf had been restored as a Tourist Precinct. The P.S Adelaide is extremely significant as it it the oldest known wooden hulled paddle steamers in the world. She was built in Echuca in 1866 and still operates on the Murray River today.
