SS Bendigo
« on: Saturday 20 September 25 12:23 BST (UK) »
I am trying to get some information about the steamer SS Bendigo that sailed from London to Melbourne, it left London on 18 October 1928 and arrived in Melbourne December 1928. My grandmother Elizabeth Murray from Bridge St, sailed on her and I would like to know if there are any pictures at all of the passengers and other related information. Thankyou
