Ex Master-at-Arms Thomas Hendrie worked on the Australis and Ellinis between 1970 and `72. Thomas then settled in Australia for 22 years before returning to the UK where he now lives in Selsey, West Sussex. He was on the ships with the late Jim Galloway, Thomas was sad to hear of the death of his friend and co Master-at-Arms. He was immensley proud to have served on both the Ellinis and Australis in the 1970's. The fun he had with Jim and the other crew, he could have written a book about! One thing that stood out about Jim was his professionalism, he would always do his duty first, then had fun! Thomas hopes that everyone enjoys, and finds interest in his photos. if anyone wants to say hello to him he can be contacted on this email address: Thomas Hendrie

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.
