Tony Morse was a passenger on the Christmas/NewYear Cruise in December 1966. He has been digitally scanning his collection of 35mm slides, a number of which feature the "Australis". He has sent me a few of the best photos from the collection, they were taken when the ship first visited Auckland, New Zealand en route to the South Pacific cruise.

Welcome all visitors to the S.S. Australis Website, which has now been online since 1998! I will continue to update the site if I receive a new story, or if you have interesting photos taken on the ship during your voyage on either the southbound, northbound, or on one of the South Pacific cruises. We used to do those trips several times a year from Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland (New Zealand). I am deeply moved by the interest and wonderful contributions from the numerous passengers and crew over many years. You can send an e-mail to me on the link below: A HUGE THANK YOU Warm Regards Ken
