He later moved to Ballarat where he spent most of his working life. Whilst there his interest in the early explorers continued until about ten years ago he began to compile the listing which developed into the present publication."

Low level on Murray River at Echuca Wharf. Paddle steamers tied up along the banks. Possibly a man on a small boat in centre of river.This bend in the river, opposite the Echuca Wharf is the reason the railways put the wharf here when it was constructed. It is the closest part of the river to Melbourne, therefore the shortest distance to transport produce to the markets.View from wharf looking down river to north side of Murray River bank.

The P.S Australien was built in 1897 by Richard Wilson, of Moama, at Echuca. In 1937 it was used to tow boilers, winches, derricks etc. for construction of Locks 6,7,9 and Yarrawonga Weir. Presently awaiting restoration at Echuca.( Ref. Parsons. R. Ships of the Inland Rivers.)The P.S Australien is significant because it is one of the oldest Paddle steamers built at Echuca. It was a working vessel during the construction of the Yarrawonga weir in the 1930's which was the beginning of the irrigation system which enabled the Agriculture Industry to become such a prominent industry in the Murray-Darling River Basin.This is a photograph of a photograph of the P.S Australien, moored to the river bank.

The barge is viewed from the rear, and the rudder can be seen. This photograph also shows the extent of the load of wool which barges could carry. The two vessels appear to be moored at a small pier. They are also tied together , presumably to prevent the current moving the load of wool.
