Echuca Slip with barge being constructed at rear
Echuca slip, with barge being constructed at rear, and several river boats in foreground. According to a researcher, it is believed that the boat up on the slipway is likely to be the P.S. Ulong, but possibly the P.S. Pevensey. The P.S. Ulonga was built around the same time as the P.S. Wanera was built upon the barge T.P. The P.S. Pevensey's hull was temporaily in use as the barge 'Mascotte' until the arrival of its engine from Marshall & Sons, Gainsborough, England, whereas the hull on the slipway is still under construction. Alledgedly there was a mix up, and three engines were shipped to Permewan Wright & Co, Echuca, instead of the one ordered - two 20hp units and a 7hp unit. The P.S. Pevensey finally received its 20hp engine, and Permewan Wright decided to put the other two engines to good use by building two more paddlesteamers for their fleet. The P.S. Ulonga was nearly identical to the P.S. Pevensy, and was fitted with the extra 20hp unit. The vessel to the left with only paddleboxes fitted is the P.S. Wanera, which was built upon the T.P. barge and gained the 7hp unit. The complete paddlesteamer to the right is the 'Oscar W.', which was built in 1908. The vessel in the middle is the stern wheeler P.S. Pride of the Murray, which was broken up circa 1910/11. Its engine and boiler have already been stripped.

P.S. Wardell at Echuca slip with boat being built
Although previously thought to be the 'P.S. Ulonga' at the Echuca slip, with another boat being built, a researcher believes that 'unless the P.S Ulonga is the boat being built, it's not in this photo. The vessel on the left is the P.S Wardell, which was a snagging steamer. The deckhouse sitting on the ground may be from the P.S Pride of the Murray, which was being broken up around the time of the P.S Ulonga's construction (c.1910)'.

First Troop of the Goolwa Volunteer Rifles in uniform
Five men wearing the uniform of the Goolwa First Troop Volunteer Rifles, with Captain (afterwards Lieut. Colonel) Higgins, in command, far left with sword, and the others holding guns. Higgins served with the Rifle Volunteers until the Goolwa Volunteer Cavalry was formed in 1864 (Information supplied by a researcher). The second man from the left is J.W. (John Huxtable Wesley Peryman). He was the manager of the Bank of Adelaide branch at Goolwa from March 1866 until it closed in July 1867. It closed due to competition from other banks and the railway taking away river trade. His rank at that time was Lieutenant (granted 2 July 1866). He left banking and went on to farming, becoming Captain of the Red Hill Rifles, and eventually going to the reserve Volunteer Force. He went to live at Mount Magnet, Western Australian in 1892 as a miner, prospector, hotel and brewery owner. A photograph of him with other miners is published in the book 'Drawn to Mount Magnet' by Karen Morrissey and Lorna Day (information supplied by a researcher). Queen Victoria gave assent to the Volunteer act of 1865-66 (Act no. 18) on 16th March, 1866. Months prior to this the Volunteer force was in limbo. Volunteers retained their rank but the various troops were basically disbanded. Under the new regulations the government would supply uniforms and pay the troopers for each drill they attended. The Goolwa Cavalry (formerly known as the Port Elliot/Goolwa Cavalry was thus disbanded and reformed in July 1866, It was then known as the No. 1 Cavalry Troop (Encounter Bay) or commonly called the First Goolwa Cavalry. The New troop did not receive all their uniform immediately and it was not until November 1866 that they paraded in their new uniforms for the first time information supplied by a researcher). The photograph appears with names of all the men in The Observer (Adelaide, SA : 1905 - 1931),edition January 29 1910, p. 29.
