Simon Whittle and his family travelled on the Australis back from Sydney in 1975. This is the only info. he gave regarding his trip on the ship, but I can add that the photos of the ships black smoke from the funnel brings back a lot of memories for me ie: having to watch where you stood up on deck, otherwise you would end up with filthy clothes. I also remember the time in late `76 when Chandris brought a company in to try and stop the smoke and soot. They did succeed for a while, but it wasn't long before the smoke was billowing out once again!

I would be pleased to hear from you regarding anything about the ship.
