Hello Pamela,

I can't help with passengers, but there are photos of the ship at
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/servlet/pa
Type in SHIP RIVERINA and click on photos to enlarge. Copies available from
the State Library of Victoria.

RIVERINA 1905
O.N.120729, 4758 gross tons, length 370ft x beam 49.7ft, one funnel, two
masts, single screw, speed 15 knots. Built by Sir James Laing & Sons, Ltd,
Sunderland (Yard No.610), she was completed in Oct.1905 for Huddart, Parker
& Co. Pty., Ltd, Melbourne. On 17th Apr.1927 she was wrecked 1.5 miles west
of Gabo Island, Victoria on voyage Hobart to Sydney with passengers and
general cargo. [Register of Merchant Ships completed in 1905 by Wm. A.
Schell]

Hope this helps
Ted
