William Randell

Our William Randell Shiraz and Cabernet
Sauvignon are named and created in
honour of our family ancestor and
esteemed pioneer of Australia, William
Richard Randell (1824 - 1911). He
emigrated to South Australia in 1837
aged 13 years with his family, only
ten months after the Colony of South
Australia had been founded.

In 1852, at the age of 28, and without any
prior experience – Randell designed and
commissioned a vessel 16m in length to
be made of Redgum. Once built, the boat
was deconstructed, dragged across the
plains to the Murray, reconstructed and
named the P.S. Mary Ann, after Randell’s mother.The
Mary Ann's maiden voyage was on the 19th of February
1853, making it the first paddle steamer on the River
Murray.

On The 15th of August 1853 Randell set out again, unaware that
Francis Cadell in the Lady Augusta was also on the River. The 'Lady
Augusta' was double the size of Randell’s boat, and Cadell was an
experienced captain.

For some time the two paddle-steamers were in a neckand- neck
race, first one in the lead, then the other, with both boats
stopping off to load and unload cargo.

While Cadell travelled 150 miles beyond Swan Hill before returning
with a cargo of wool, Randell travelled further, reaching within
50 miles of the Bendigo gold diggings. Randell had steamed 1068
miles from Goolwa.

Neither steamboat met the conditions set down for the full
government bonus. However Randell received £300 from the
government for his feat, and the people raised another
£400 as a testimonial.
