Distinguished and Famous people from Goolwa
🏛️ Francis Cadell and William Randell
Francis Cadell and William Randell are both part of Goolwa’s river-steamer history. In 1853 Cadell took the Lady Augusta up the Murray with South Australian governor Henry Young among the passengers. Randell had left Goolwa ahead of him and travelled further upstream, complicating the official celebrations that gave Cadell much of the public credit. Their voyages helped demonstrate the commercial possibilities of river navigation. Remembering both men gives a fuller account of the river port’s early steamer era than attributing the achievement to a single pioneer.
