Built at Echuca in 1866 for J.C. Grassy & Partners, P.S. Adelaide is the oldest wooden hulled paddlesteamer still operating. Used as a logging boat for 90 odd years, she left the town briefly during the 1950's but later was brought back to Echuca as a community effort in 1960. 1964 saw her lifted from the water and put to rest in Echuca's Hopwood Gardens, where she lay for 20 years. In 1980 restoration commenced and she was refloated in 1984. Now used as excursion boat.
