This evenings sunset on board the Paddle Boat Mundoo did not disappoint! After a brief shower of rain, the evening opened up to this masterpiece in the sky! It was so amazing to see so many passengers taking photos of the sunset, with many discussing its beauty!

How incredible is this article from 1984 in the Rich River Review!?

They had typed up records from our very own Paddle Vessel Rothbury’s log books (when it was the Paddle Steamer Rothbury) from back in 1906 and beyond.

It records the Rothbury travelling the Murray River to Echuca and also up the Murrumbidgee River to Hay, Carathool & the Toganmain Woolshed. The amount of late nights and long days these early riverboat captains had to endure is extraordinary! The amount of repairs undertaken to the vessel whilst travelling is the true test of perseverance and resilience!

To know that the Paddle Vessel Rothbury undertook these monumental moments in history and is still surviving 144 years later, with the passion of various individuals to carry on this iconic piece of Australian history is nothing short of incredible!

The stories and histories these boats can tell!

Welcome to Mildura Paddle Steamers

Mildura Paddle Steamers was established in 1955 by Captain Alby Pointon and his wife Freda, when he purchased a small launch in Mildura, called the “Donald Duck”. In 1957 Alby purchased an old Paddle Steamer wreck the “Mayflower” and rebuilt her to carry passengers. The Mayflower became too small and after searching along the river, he purchased the Paddle Steamer Melbourne also as a wreck, in 1965. He then restored her to the magnificent Paddle Steamer she is today. The Rothbury was then purchased in 1968 and underwent a lengthy restoration by Captain Pointon, a total of 8 years. During the 1970’s the Coonawarra was acquired along with other partners, and was operated at Murray Bridge in S.A. after extensive refurbishing. Eventually Alby brought the Coonawarra also, back to Mildura in 1981, but she was later sold due to health reasons. In 1999, Captain Alby Pointon and Freda bought their final boat to Mildura, the Paddle Boat Mundoo. She is the designated function vessel that caters for Weddings, Functions and Conferences. With his unique foresight Captain Alby Pointon has rebuilt three Paddle Steamers and brought others to Mildura. The Pointon family have operated river cruises in Mildura for over 64 years, with the Management being handed on to their children and grandchildren.
