At 3pm on 5 August 1914, Governor Lord Liverpool took his place alongside Prime Minister William Massey on the steps of the Parliamentary Library. Earlier that day newspaper officers had been notified of an impending announcement - the Governor had received an important message from the King and was going to read it on the steps of Parliament. After reading the message to a crowd of 15,000 people, Lord Liverpool then paused, and said simply: "I have another telegram to announce which I have received: War has broken out with Germany." So began New Zealand's involvement in the First World War - the most bloody and industrialised war the world had ever seen.
Above is the translation of the secret cipher telegram sent to Lord Liverpool, received three hours before his announcement. After he shared this record with the crowd, a hush descended as they absorbed the gravity of the Governor's words. "But they soon broke into cheers, and the men removed their hats and began singing the national anthem… In the coming days, thousands of men around the country would be caught up in the wave of fervent patriotism sweeping the country. By the end of the first week, 14,000 had volunteered to enlist."
The initial wave of patriotism was later dampened by casualty lists and the stalemates of the Western Front, and conscription was introduced in 1916. A small but vocal anti-conscription movement was active against such a move, but the general public overwhelmingly followed Massey's August words of doing "your duty to your country and your Empire." When conflict finally ended over four years later, around 18,500 New Zealanders had been killed in or because of the war, and about 41,000 were wounded.

Telegram from agents R. Longworth & Co. to A. Taylor & Co. dated Pyrmont 17th September 1902. Forwarded to J. Wright & Co.
The S.S. Bellinger was a wooden vessel, a twin screw steamship of 229 gross tons built in 1902 by John Wright and Company of Tuncurry. Contrary to the launch date of 1901 recorded on the postcard was actually launched at Tuncurry on 10th May 1902 and christened Bellinger by Mrs. H. Blaiklock [Josephine Wright], daughter of the owner and builder – John Wright.
There were four vessels with the name Bellinger operating in Australia in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Identifying these can be difficult and for convenience we have identified them as follows.
Bellinger I (1884 - 1908) - Built in Scotland
Bellinger II (1886 - ?) - Built by Anderson and Doepel on Bellinger River
Bellinger III (1902 - 1912) - Built by John Wright Tuncurry
Bellinger IV (Avalon) (1915 - 1918) - Built by Denis Sullivan, Coopernook
A fifth Bellinger (1865 - 1873) operated in the area but research has yet to be undertaken.
Other images of Bellinger III are in the album Bellinger III
Details of the Scottish-built Bellinger are in the Album Bellinger I
Details of the Bellinger IV can be found in Allbum Bellinger IV
Details of the Wright-built Bellinger III are in the Album Bellinger III
Details of the Sullivan-built Bellinger IV are in the Album Details of the Wright-built Bellinger III are in the Album Bellinger IV
The Bellinger was 126ft in length, 29ft in beam, and with a hold depth of 6ft. She was powered with twin compound steam engines each of 40h.p., built by McKie and Baxter of Glasgow and fitted by Mr. W. Clarke, of Messrs. Begg and Greig, of Sydney. In addition she was ketch rigged and capable of sailing a full course under canvas if necessary.
Originally she was owned by a consortium consisting John Wright, Allen Taylor and Robert Anderson when registered. Later she was absorbed into the Allen Taylor fleet.
Her trial run was undertaken on 30th July and was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald Thursday 31 July 1902 as follows: “The Bellinger, in charge of Captain Tanglin, left the wharf at Tuncurry at 9.30 a.m. with a number of the residents of Tuncurry and Forster aboard. The weather being beautifully fine a pleasant run was anticipated. She proceeded as far as Black Head, a point midway between Cape Hawke and the Manning Heads. Schnapper fishing was indulged in, the catch totalling about 100. The trip proved in every way satisfactory, the speed developed being from 7 to 8½ knots.”
She undertook her maiden voyage from Tuncurry to Sydney on Monday 1st August 1902 in the company of the Steamer Commonwealth and made her first commercial run to the Bellinger River arriving on Sunday 17th August. The event was recorded in the SMH Monday 25 August 1902 as follows:
BELLINGER HEADS, Saturday.
Messrs Allen Taylor and Co's new passenger and cargo steamer (Bellinger) crossed in on Sunday morning [17th August] on her first trip, and during the day was visited by a large number of people interested in shipping. After discharging her back freight she proceeded to Elliston mills and took in a cargo of about 40,000ft of sawn timber and about 700 bags maize besides sundries.
Her stay on the Bellinger River was only brief as by early September she was replaced by the Wootton the Bellinger was dispatched to Camden Haven. Mick Constable later recalled her first run from Camden Haven as follows: ”She did sterling service and, on September 18th 1902, she would have been towed down the Laurieton channel (no doubt by the tug Unique which served that port) and out to sea, fully laden with timber. She would have head east to navigate Point Perpendicular then south with a clear run to Sydney Heads, where some 24 hours later the Saucy Jack would have picked her up in Elizabeth Bay and towed her to Allen Taylor's Wharf at Pyrmont; this her first cargo and this her maiden voyage- she performed much to everyone's satisfaction.” While was not actually her maiden voyage, the evocative description of this first trip from Camden Haven is trip is a true gem.
She suffered some significant setbacks. On the numerous occasions she became stuck on sandbars she was able to generally free herself within 24 hours. was a good ship and on her return to various ports carried limited number of passengers; she continued to do so for almost 10 long years. But disaster struck on the afternoon of April 26th 1912 when she was outward bound from Nambucca, she hit the bar, split, took water and sank. The ship was a total loss but local fishermen rapidly went to the scene, rescued the whole crew from the rigging still above water.

Captain Tanglin was the first master of the S.S. Bellinger and Alec Mackay the engineer. Mick Treiberg served his time as the mate in her from 29th January 1906 until the 7th February 1907, whilst James Hunt was the master and Mick Nugent, the engineer.
She had a small passenger accommodation. Her stewardesses were Miss Nellie Jeffs, Miss Kennedy & Miss Cooper. She was finally lost on the Nambucca River bar by Captain John Rosten.
