The Pipiriki, was in Melb. with us .(Cragmoor,) Mid-April and again,round -about September-Oct. 1950.

Good happy Crowd , to meet ashore ,from Her.
Later a similar ship the Ashburton , was there ,round the same time.
Though Memory plays Tricks. Always remember the Funnel Markings ,as" The Hungry Goose Line" (Trinder -Andersons)
Do recall, the Crew would refer to it as ",The P.eye -P .eye . R eye K eye.
