Ps Marion

Went to MANNUM last week end for celebrations of the PS MARION'S 130th birthday,it is the oldest boat using a wood fired boiler on the river,owing to the rain we stayed an extra day in comfort the c/p. The boiler was made in England in 1906, last restoration was when the Marion was bought by the mannum museum and placed in the original dry dock where it was built 10 years ago, the boat had a complete restoration and is permantly moored there.
now days it does hourly cruises of a Sunday and 4 night passenger trips when it gets enough passengers to fill the berths.
Echuca in Victoria is the main river port for other old boats still being used.

Came to library to swap a book and have an hours use of computer , so a bit more of a quickie ---FREDO you behave yourself lmao

When I lived in Memphis we had a few old paddle boats that went up and down the Mississippi--now they are busy shuffling the tourists around

The boat is intriguing. I would love to take an overnight cruise and be rocked to sleep.

the Marion is not a regular passenger vessel , its only used as such for special occasions, the noise of the wheels turning sounds like a washing machine

It's good to hear from you Kevin. This year we achieve the age to qualify for a senior citizen national parks pass. I hope we use it to do some more traveling than we do.

pensioners here pay full rates for our state parks but true
