My name is Ken Ironside and I was the gym instructor on the Chandris Lines
flagship S. S. Australis in the mid-seventies. I originally built this site
to try and find the hundreds of crew and passengers that I met during the
years I worked on the ship. If you were on the ship as a passenger or crew
member at any time in her history, |
Maurice Horsburgh was an entertainer on the ship in the seventies and
used to take part in lunchtime and evening shows in the Main Lounge
and the Smoke Bar (i.e. Let'shave a Nightcap with Mo). He had been living in Queensland, Australia for the past 30 years. Mo was also a member of the Queensland Accordion Club. Mo sadly passed away on the 14th July 2015. Late of Elanora, Queensland Australia. He was aged 86. |
