Three Ladies of Moreton Bay
$24.99
David Jones and Colin Jones
Mirimar, Mirabel and Mirana were three ladies of Moreton Bay. Elegant, white passenger launches belonging to Hayles Cruises, they are well remembered in Brisbane for their popular bay and river excursions.
First came the legendary Mirimar running to Stradbroke Island, opening the way to the jewel of Point Lookout. The diminutive Mirabel soon followed with the excellent Mirana, joining the fleet after the war.
Centred in the city under the shadow of Victoria Bridge, they ran to all corners of Moreton Bay as well as upstream to Lone Pine.
Built in Brisbane for Brisbane, they were a vital part of the city’s river scene and its way of life for half a century.

Three Ladies of Moreton Bay appeals across the generations. With its generous illustrations and detailed research it will enhance the memories of older readers, while younger ones will discover the now gone pleasures of Hayles’ cruises up the river and down the Bay.
