Paddle Vessel PV Jandra on Darling River near Bourke NSW

Built in 2000 as a diesel powered replica of an 1894 steam powered paddle boat.
NOTE:
PV = Paddle Vessel ie diesel
PS = Paddle Steamer ie steam

"A pleasant surprise, and something you would probably not expect in a small outback town like Bourke, is a paddle boat.

From the end of the nineteenth and early into the twentieth century, the Darling River was busy with river boats carrying wool bales up and down the river and the Port of Bourke was one of Australia’s busiest inland ports during this time.

The three-tiered wharf at the northern end of Sturt St is a reproduction of the original wharf built in 1897.

A cruise along the mighty Darling River aboard the PV Jandra is a journey back to this time, reliving memories of life on the river when river trade was king and paddle boats were the major means of transporting wool and other produce all the way from the railhead at Bourke to the Murray junction at Wentworth."
