PS Industry centenary Apr.11

[stephenf10]

Here are a few pictures of the boats at Morgan. Unfortunately I forgot my "proper" camera so the pix are from my phone camera.

The pictures are of the Oscar W and Marion tied up at the riverbank, the Kingfisher, and the shacks just downstream of Morgan taken from the Oscar.

PS Industry will be visiting Berri over Sat.1 & Sun.2.10.11.  It will be moored at the Berri riverfront and conducting 1 hour river cruises, steaming from the Berri Wharf:
10.30-11.30 & 14.00-15.00, Sat.1.
10.30-11.30, Sun.2
That hints at a Friday morning departure from Renmark (morning bridge, morning locking, early afternoon arrival).  Friday afternoon isn't impossible.
Possibly a Sunday afternoon up river: afternoon locking and afternoon bridge.  That is tight, but achievable.  When I did it, I had a headstart from Lyrup. 
Contact Renmark visitor centre for the prospect of the extended voyage.

I had hoped to commence my spring boating at Renmark for Berri, but I will still be in China (cruising Yangtse River), and also for the long weekend in Morgan.  It would have been great to take in a chase to Berri, then follow Canally to Morgan (Jessie II would be inadequate as a tow vessel).

Perhaps new member Kevin or longer-time member Mike Smith will be able to cover these events on behalf of the group?

I made this one for a pub group (Renmark Hotel, centre rear) and for a cinema group (Ozone Cinema, far right), so I am adding to my existing selection of the the PS Industry centenary celebrations.
