Locally as in Port of Adelaide, which is only 50nm away. Though
to take your question seriously: One tug is ex-canefields, and used to push a barge set up as an artists studio around. Other tugs are used to take punts up to the dockyard at Morgan for servicing, 'cause the punts' cables don't quite reach there. Both the river trade and heavy construction (locks, bridges, barrages etc) all used paddleboat/barge combinations. Nav wrote: What do tugs do on the Murray Lakes?
