The Australian Twin Steamer "Bunyip", 1858. Our Engraving represents one of a class of vessels now becoming general on the Murray and other rivers in South Australia. The Bunyip is a now craft lately placed on the station for the conveyance of both passengers and merchandise between Adelaide and the neighbouring places, and is giving the greatest satisfaction by her performances. She consists of two vessels of narrow beam, but extremely sharp in build, with a large paddle-wheel between them, the flooring connecting the vessel giving, with them, a great width of beam; and a good rate of speed has been arrived at. A vessel of similar construction, named the Gemini, was tried on the Thames some years since with but little success, though a comfortable and excellent passenger-boat. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
