I first met Kerri when she travelled from Sydney to Southampton as a passenger on the Australis in August 1976. I gave Kerri details on how to contact Chandris` Head Office to apply for a job on the ship. In September to October of that year she was a wine stewardess on the Ellinis cruising around the Mediterranean. Then in November `76 she joined the Australis as a stewardess, cashier and information officer. We disembarked at Southampton in April 1977 and decided to back-pack it across Europe for the summer, starting in the Greek Islands and then making our way back through Italy, France and the UK. In November 1977 Kerri worked her passage back to Australia on the Australis as a cashier, this was to be the ships last voyage as the Australis with Chandris Lines. She then worked in Sydney as a barmaid in pubs and clubs. She returned to the UK and Europe in 1981. Kerri met her future husband, an Englishman from Yorkshire, in 1981, and got married in 1983. She has worked as a private investigator with her husband from that time until now.

Due to a huge volume of questions I am asked, for which often I do not have the information, I have decided to ask that only ex-crew actually write to me please. I am delighted with everyones contributions, and will occasionally update the Australis web site, using photos/stories etc sent to me. However I cannot answer any more questions. Thankyou for your sustained interest in the SS Australis Homepage. Please e-mail me on this link: Contact.
