Arthur Kinloch 1853

The first passage and cargo trip along the Murray took place in 1853 when S.S. Lady Augusta steamed from Goolwa to near present-day Koondrook above Swan Hill and back, a distance of some 1400 miles.

One of her passengers was Arthur Kinloch whose account of the trip makes absorbing reading.

This facsimile features a map by Bruce Macdonald, showing every settlement and station mentioned in the text, and a frontispiece taken from another account of the same voyage, as well as an introduction by noted maritime historian, Ronald Parsons.
