The Pride of the Murray, a Diesel Paddle Wheeler.

The pride of the Murray was originally named after the PS Pride of the Murray, a stern-wheeler paddle steamer built by Johnston and Davies at Echuca in 1865.

The PV Pride of the Murray started out life as a timber logging barge named C24, at Echuca in 1924. built by C Felshaw for the Murray River Sawmills, At the end of C24's working life it was abandoned and sunk in the River Murray, on the Victorian bank, upstream of the Echuca-Moama Road and Rail Bridge.  In the may of 1973, Captain Maxwell Carrington decided to restore the C24 barge, buying the wreck for $100aud. after removing 250 tons of silt (250,000kg), the barge was refloated and repaired at the Moama slip.

The Pride of the Murray was launched as a diesel-electric passenger vessel in 1977. along with the PS Canberra and the PS Emmylou, they were operated by Murray River Paddlesteamers as a tourist attraction in Echuca. In 2022, Pride of the Murray was purchased by Outback Pioneers, located in Longreach, Queensland. the Pride traveled 1,750 km (1,090 mi) to the Thompson River by a 26 metre-long(85.3ft) prime mover, which had 106 tyres.

Unfortunately, of the 6th of march 2023, the Pride of the Murray sank in the Thompson River at its moorings and has not been reported as being recovered at the time of this post being made.

I think I've replaced dad as the Dad of the family in that whenever we travel I'm the one who is perpetually tired and overstimulated and doesn't want to be in photos and always just wants to find a nice quiet place to exist with a drink or perhaps a treat. unless it's a museum of whatever sort in which case I will read and look at everything until someone drags me away to Next Location
