Flashback Friday - M.V. Malanda ⛴️

Acquired during the 1920s, the Malanda was a historic motor vessel operated by Hayles Cruises for passenger and cargo services between Townsville and Magnetic Island along with sister vessels like the Mandalay, Maree, Merinda and Malita to meet growing demand for travel to the island.

Interestingly, during World War II, the Malanda was requisitioned in 1942 as HMAS Malanda (FY37), serving as an examination vessel, tow boat, and net layer, including a cargo voyage to Darwin where she sustained damage during air raids.
