Monthly Talk – paddle steamers of port philip
by Nayda Kelly
Nayda Kelly’s grandfather worked for 30 years on the PS Weeroona, the last of the Port Phillip paddle steamers to be built. The PS Ozone, PS Hygeia and PS Weeroona were luxurious with spacious promenade decks and impressive lounge and dining areas. There were bands, dancing and other entertainment on board.
Nayda will speak about the voyages of these paddle steamers and the intriguing facts and stories she uncovered while doing her family history. After retiring from a career in the advertising industry, Nayda moved from Melbourne to live in Point Lonsdale with her husband Brian
