Ex-crew member Chris Preston,
Master-At-Arms.
Chris Preston was a passenger on the Ellinis in late 1971 and joined as Master at Arms on the turn around in Southampton. Over the next few years he changed between the Ellinis and the Australis. Chris met Gail in August 1975 travelling as a passenger on the Australis, she got a job as a Stewardess where she worked with her good friends Nina Bartosis, Antionette Bonello, Myra Casey, Johanna Leighton and Carol Bran. Chris and Gail got off the Australis in November 1975.

Due to a huge volume of questions I am asked, for which often I do not have the information, I have decided to ask that only ex-crew actually write to me please.

I am delighted with everyones contributions, and will occasionally update the Australis web site, using photos/stories etc sent to me. However I cannot answer any more questions.

Thankyou for your sustained interest in the SS Australis Homepage.
