It was common for passengers to sleep there during the hotter parts of the journey to escape the heat of the cabins. The deck got washed each morning at about 6.30 - which meant this was not a place for a long morning snooze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/4d2facce-e2da-41a3-8815-474462ef0e95/A19-056.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Port Said was one of two stops on the trip to Australia.

They managed to get a cabin together and kept each other company on the trip. Miss Wagner had plans to start a fashion shop in Sydney, while Miss Marsden was planning to start up a chicken farm (a thought she quickly left behind once she saw living conditions on Australian farms). The friendship ended not long after they arrived in Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/8b2cedab-de72-47df-ba81-ba9b659a1be6/A19-062.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Miss Marsden and Miss Wagner with a young couple (possibly name Hall) on board the Largs Bay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/90f5e904-b053-4282-b847-18b82f4406ba/A19-070.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Edith thoroughly enjoyed the short stop of the Largs Bay in Colombo.

The wedding celebrations had been arranged by Mrs Hindwood and the family helped them get dressed for the occasion. Edith says Sverre's hair had been greased beyond recognition and her face was hidden by a thick layer of powder. This picture was taken by Keith Hindwood, who was Sverre's best man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/d9a236b8-63ec-4a51-a80e-a7795648183d/A19-067.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Sverre loved the Australian bush and it didn't take long before he brought Edith out to experience it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/0a593841-8826-47d3-9be3-92f433c630da/A19-148.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Keith Hindwood (on the left) was a close friend of Sverre in the early 1930s.

They were particularly supportive as she spent 12 weeks in Parramatta District Hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident in September 1929.

In January 1930 he started work on building a bridge at Taemas near Yass, in NSW. Edith joined Sverre at the workers village, which consisted of some 35 men, as well as some women and children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/16892f30-3af5-404a-87c0-05160b0b0b25/A19-098.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Living conditions at Taemas were basic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/3aeb11f4-ff1f-44ff-99e0-490afa7f186c/A19-103.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 This is the cabin Edith and Sverre lived in at Taemas. The cabin was made of tin and the tent was double layered, insulated with wood shavings. Edith described the tent this way: "First there are boards at the bottom, then canvas stretched over a house-shaped frame and attached to the boards. The entrance side is bordered by the house, which is higher than the tent. There is a board above the tent and a board on both sides, about ¾ meter apart, over which an extra canvas roof is stretched, which keeps the sun and rain away from the actual tent roof." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d5ba8bb671aa5f5801acbe/7a7d7a73-e974-4120-95e2-3e2642d17e0a/A19-104.jpg Coming to Australia 1929 to 1930 Home sweet home. Sverre made most of the furniture in the cabin, including the deck chair and cabinets.
