For anyone who is interested the PS Marion is currently out of the water.  She is on the slipway just West of Mannum having what looks to be repairs on the hull.  Unfortunatey we didn't have time to stop when I drove past on the W/E.

Hi PD's - Martin would "She is on the slipway just west of Mannum" be at Dick Bromheads yard & slip? which is about 8 Km out of Mannum heading toward Swan Reach - regards  :)  Derek

Sounds about right!  I wouldnt have said it was 8km but it could be!  It is not too far before the Swan Reach turnoff, but dont usually pay too much attention as we keep going towards Purnong.

There is usually several paddlers sitting there presumably being restored.  I dont get to pay enough attention as the kids are usually pretty ratty by then and anxious to reach the shack and get out of the car.

she might have been being recaulked, I know when I'm up in Echuca in a few weeks the Pev is up on slip and I might be working on her! (yay!)

So yeh Echuca is slowly counting down now!
