I lived in Koondrook, Victoria in the early 1960s. A Catalina Hull propelled by a Ford 10 4 cyl engine was used to ferry sleepers out of the red gum forests in the floods. It sank and was refloated in 1962. In about 2000 in Mildura, I saw a houseboat, Rivercat 2, which had been built on the hull of a Catalina. I often wondered if it was the same hull. Anybody know anything?
