Mildura Paddle Steamers is as iconic to Sunraysia as its quality produce and year-round sunshine. Company founders, Captain Alby Pointon and his wife Freda, brought the Mundoo to the region 20 years ago, adding it to their already established portfolio of vessels. Last weekend the Mundoo marked the occasion with a celebratory jazz cruise along the Murray. Alby and Freda's granddaughter, Ashton Kreuzer, spoke with Danielle Wilcock about the Mundoo's celebration but also offered a delightful insight to her grandparents' humbling story.

THE PV Mundoo was built in 1987, in Goolwa, South Australia, by Jack Veenstra and his family-owned company.
