Phil asked me earlier if perhaps anyone could identify the ship in the background.

The vessel in the background looks very much like the SS Australis. On the two funnels there are crosses painted on them and they appear to be the Chandris line logo�s.

yet on closer inspection the ships name appears to read �Australia�
Anyone got any ideas?

Sad
