Del Parry and his family enjoyed his trip Southbound from Southampton to Fremantle, Australia in September/October 1970. They were routed via the South Indian Ocean, due to the Suez Canal being closed because of the war.

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.

A HUGE THANK YOU
