While I wasn't able to take a tour, the volunteers are to be commended for the scale of work that they have done restoring this vessel Edit: Did the tour, totally worth it to see what a ship of this size was like and how it is being restored. The volunteers are doing an amazing job. Make the effort and have a look though. You won't be disappointed.

So much history in this clipper ship in the process of being restored by enthusiastic volunteers. The guided tour was interesting and informative. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of sailing ships and early South Australia.
