Hi, Just signed up as a new member after coming across this great site while googling some research. I live in Adelaide, Australia and cruise the lower sections of the River Murray on my Cabin Cruiser KoKoMo, when not working. I've had a long time interest in ships, shipwrecks and riverboats, and have written several books including my most recent "Australian Riverboats. A Pictorial History".

I bought that book recently Peter, it's great. Was during Geography camp so it was a good read on the way home to Melbourne.
