Because I am pushed for modelling space,I am restricted to small models,so hence my interest in paddle wheel boats..browsing through a copy of Marine modelling international April 2007
I saw the free plan of Jennifer Anne a small Australian paddle steamer..This simple model is now to become my test bed for my introduction to paddlers. The difference being I am using styrene instead of balsa..will keep you informed of my progress..cheers :)

This sounds to be a generic design (there is no entry for a boat with this name in Parsons 'Ships of the inland Rivers). Do you have a concept sketch or photo from the article heading which you could post?
There is a picture of another generic Australian design floating around somewhere else in Paddleducks.
I don't recall it being named Jennifer Anne, so it may be a different design. IIRC it had a deeper hull than the original would have had, to give the model stability.
Another member has created his own generic Australian one, and posted photos of it (use the search box on 'Ned Kelly).

There was some discussion on that plan when the issue was first released, it's here - http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2704.0 - there's a rough picture of how it will look near the start of the thread...
