With her original gear!

Here she is shown with both gear and also when she had cranes. I was on her when she had Cranes. She belonged to Associated Steamship at that time and was doing a lot of trips to Port Kembla carrying rolls of steel for the car plants and Gypsum from Stenhouse Bay back east.

I did seven trips straight on the Kooliga from Melbourne to Stenhouse Bay, it got a little monotonous in the end but, the fishing was great...Paddy the Pig was Bosun!
