Summary

Album of scenes of the Murray River and surrounding areas, including agricultural and irrigation scenes, some interior scenes, boating and paddlesteamers. This album is of very poor condition and most images are deteriorated and faded. PRG 1480/16/121 is of the paddle-steamer 'Murrundi' in 1917. Built in 1875 at Port Adelaide and originally named the 'Menindie', the vessel was purchased by Capt. Randell in 1907. Location is likely between Murray Bridge and Swan Reach.
