Built at Echuca, P.S. Adelaide is the oldest wooden hulled paddlesteamer still operating in the World! Used as a logging boat for 90 odd years, she left the town briefly during the 1950's but later was brought back to Echuca as a community effort in 1960. 1964 saw her lifted from the water and put to rest in Echuca's Hopwood Gardens, where she lay for 20 years. However, in 1980 restoration commenced and she was refloated in 1984.

In 2004 the PS Adelaide was ridden by me...

Hehehe, it was taken from one of the text files I moved over from the old Yahoo forum. I don't know who originally posted it, so I can't give credit for it.

This is my latest burning of PS Adelaide

A nice picture Jock... Just as a matter of interest (okay I'm nosey!) what do you burn onto? It doesn't appear to be wood...

Beutifully done Jock.  I was a bit apprehensive when you wrote about "burning" am Aussie icon

It was burnt on  8" x 11"  birch ply using a hot iron.
