A historical account of the Murray River paddle-wheeler M V Coonawarra, its links with previous vessels the P S Murrumbidgee, P S Excelsior, and J L Roberts barge, their skippers, and the beginnings of Murray River traffic in the 1890s in Victoria.
The activities of those early vessels illuminate a singular time in Australian history, when the Murray and its tributaries were waterways. The Coonawarra was a curiosity, built in 1950 from parts of previous vessels.
