| | "Koopa" |
 | | With both masts gaily decorated with flags, the new excursion steamer Koopa, which was recently built in Scotland for the Brisbane excursion traffic, looked a graceful and picturesque sight as she steamed up the river and berthed at the railway wharf, South Brisbane, about 5 pm on Sunday. |
 | | The advent of the Koopa's arrival in Brisbane had attracted a good deal of attention and a large number of persons gathered at the Brisbane Tug Company's wharf to inspect her on her arrival. |
 | | Captain R.D.Taylor, who brought the Koopa to Australia from the place where she was built, reported that on leaving leith on October 20 very heavy gales were encountered, and when about half way through the English Channel the vessel was obliged to shelter off Margate. |
