While I was in Indonesia, Michael sent me a birthday gift: a newly-published (2007) book 'Paddlesteamers & riverboats of the Murray River - Australia', by Pete Dobré (isbn 978192082207I).  I will enter this properly in the relevant thread later.
I was at most of the events at which the photos were taken, and appear in the one of PV 'Miralie' on p43.  Since the owner is also on the foredeck, I deduce that the leg in blue jeans visible steering is Michael.
