PS Alexander Arbuthnot
The Alexander Arbuthnot was one of the last steamers built on the Murray during the riverboat trade. She was built at Koondrook in 1923 to tow barges carrying logs from the forest to the Arbuthnot Sawmills for some years until the 1940’s when she was sold to charcoal producers in the Barmah Forest. During WW2 the 'A.A.' lay idle and in 1947 sank at her moorings. In 1972 she was raised by a group of Shepparton volunteers. The 'A.A' was bought by the City of Echuca in 1989 for restoration at the Port.
