August 2002: An exciting development, I have been given some pics of Alma's final trip from Melbourne to Port Macquarie, they can be viewed by clicking the link "Journey North" on the menu.

April 2004: Email received from Rodney Page - "Dear Belinda
The photo at the bottom right of your page on the Alma (great stuff by the way) is taken from the Town Green looking toward Lady Nelsons Wharf at Port Macquarie. I am the rigger here in Port and have loads of photos taken during her "re-fit" before full survey is granted some time in July 2004 if you want them I will send"
Rodney's pic can be seen on the contributions page.
Thanks Rodney.

August 2004: Email received from Steve Bolin- "Saw your web site and thought I would give you an update. The Alma is at Port Maquarie (as in one of your pics) and is about to be slipped for survey. It is intended for it to be used for tourism cruises around Port or even costal hopping to Coffs Harbour and return." 
Thanks Steve.
