Redgum and Paddlewheels - Australia's Inland River Trade

Between the 1850s and 1890s over 300 paddle steamers plied the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee Rivers and their tributaries, carrying carges of wool, wheat, and timber, hardware and haberdashery, clothing, liquor, furniture, groceries, and people. This book looks at their heyday. It includes a list of paddle steamers operating in 1980.
