Although this adds to the weight of the ship it was found necessary when she was engaged in carrying emigrants from. England to West Australia, before the war. Going through the tropics the iron plates on the main and shelter decks were found to heat up considerably in the intense tropical sun, and this was detrimental io the comfort of passengers m the daytime. Although Die Australind is not. now carrying passengers she still

retains her heavy decking, and during the war this was an improvement on Hie bare iron plates, when the steamer was engaged in carrying timys from Australia.
