The Shire of Campaspe has approved an additional $65,000 for deck repairs and an engine overhaul for the paddle steamer Alexander Arbuthnot. The funds bring the total council contribution to the restoration to $492,621 and will ensure the 92-year-old paddle steamer meets required safety standards and minimise the risk of future engine problems. Cr Paul Jarman said undertaking the works while the boat was slipped at Moama would reduce costs while ensuring a speedy return to service.
