_The Evening Post_, 4 February 1925:
PACIFIC ROUTES
WHICH WAS FIRST STEAMER?
LONG DEBATED QUESTION
The records of early steam navigation in the Pacific are difficult to trace, and the question which was the first steamer to cross that ocean took some time to decide. The evidence seems to be with the paddle steamer Golden Age…
… the Golden Age and Monumental City cross[ed] in 1854 [and] some smaller paddle boats staggered across in the ’sixties, to the goldfields of Australia…
…She arrived at Liverpool from New York in 1853, and from there made a record voyage to Australia.
On her transpacific voyage she left Sydney on 11th May, 1854.… she was built of wood, and … the whole hull was diagonally braced with iron.…
…
The Golden Age was a side-wheel steamer, and was the property of the New York and Australian Steam Navigation Company, which proposed to build five more like her for trade on the route she pioneered. But her voyage was not a financial success.

Behold the dazzling colors of the black-and-gold sapsucking slug. This sea slug secretes an unappetizing mucus to dissuade predators & can drop its colorful cerata, or leaf-like outgrowths, to create a distraction. This species is found in the western Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Had a great sneak peak of the 11th #Asia #Pacific #Triennial #art #exhibition at QA Galleries today. Officially, opens tomorrow. Yes, all 3 floors at GOMA and more at QAG.
Was lucky enough to start a conversation with Abraham Karaka, #Maori #activist and part of the #artists for #Waiapu action collective. What a fascinating history the Waiapu #river has, and how the history of the river has been beautifully documented since the 1920s.
Definitely worth a visit to #Meanjin (#Brisbane). Make sure you give yourself several hours to soak it all in.
