turbo.....there were very OZ few paddlers with a tall black chimney just aft of the bridge

The image you show by the river bank is not in Ships of the Inland Rivers by Parsons........however I am sure you will be able to recognise the black chimney & bridge surrounds from the book

My copy is at home in Wollongong.....I am in Adelaide.........

Good luck ....... Derek

I'm not good enough to be positive.  It looks to have more passenger accommodation than most, so I nominate Ruby (2), not the current Ruby (3).
One beauty of this forum: if I am wrong, I can post edit.
