Summary

Description
English: H.M.S. Wallaroo lying at Brisbane. H.M.S. Wallaroo is a smart vessel of 2,575 tons, eight 4.7-inch quick-firing guns, and with a nominal speed of 19 knots an hour. She forms part of the so-called Australian Squadron, and is placed on her present station subject to the understanding that her services should be confined strictly to Australian waters. But of late years the various Australasian Governments have shown by their patriotic action in assisting the Imperial troops in South Africa, and by the despatch of a war vessel manned by Australian sailors to China, that they are fully alive to the fact that the true defence of the Empire is to enable its forces to prevail at whatever point they are assailed. The New Commonuealth of Australia may be counted on as certain to continue the enlightened policy of the various Colonial Governments.
