Pioneer Settlement

The Pioneer Settlement, in Swan Hill, Victoria, is Australia's first open-air museum, portraying life on the Murray in the era 1830-1930.

[8]) The PV Pyap operates daily cruises from the Horseshoe Bend Wharf within the Settlement.

Original built in Mannum as a barge in 1896, the Pyap was converted to a paddle steamer by October 1897.

Prior to relocation to the Pioneer Settlement in 1970, the Pyap was refitted with a 225 hp GM671 Gray Marine diesel engine.

[9] In 1994 an act of Parliament brought the Settlement under the control of the Swan Hill City Council.
