Juif errant
The paddle steamer "Wandering Jew" of 66 tonnes, 22 × 4.4 × 1.5 m, was built in 1866 and registered at Sydney. On 15 December 1914, "Wandering Jew" was lost due to a fire on Barwon River, Brewarrina. "The "Wandering Jew" represents an earlier maritime era and provides a direct link to the riverine heritage of Brewarrina. Its colourful history and repeated damage by fire is evocative of the dramas associated with riverboat travel".
