Ray Ironside's Picture Gallery Part One.

Ray worked as an Entertainments Officer, alongside other crew such as John L Sullivan, and Christine Venn, during the early 1970's. He then worked on the Australis between 1973 and 1974.
You may have also met Ray when he worked on other Chandris cruise ships, such as the Amerikanis, Patris and the Queen Frederica. During this time he met Wendy, a passenger, who later joined Chandris as a crew member - being a dancer.

Ray left Chandris Lines in 1974 and married Wendy, they live in Tasmania, Australia and have 2 grown up sons.

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.
