According to this 1893 article, the SS GENERAL GORDON was a 'stern-wheeler' and the Captain was Captain Murray. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/82452868

WHERE TO SPEND A HOLIDAY ... At Brooklyn on "The Rhine"

"... ... Three days a week they can take a trip in the General Gordon up the river or down the bay or to Cowan for the purpose of fishing and pleasure and scenery. Three times a week they can take a trip in the s.s. Hawkesbury as far as sixty miles up the river, 5s return. I forgot to say the s.s. Gordon trip is Is, meals supplied at Is 6d each. Then you can fish off the Gordon wharf or round the rocks without going to the small expense of hiring a boat, or you can camp out without going to a hotel, and bring your hamper with you or get supplies from local tradesmen at Sydney prices. There is also some shooting. ... ... "

WooHoo!! Henry King was good enough to take a photo of the GENERAL GORDON under full steam ahead. Original at the PhM, not yet on Flickr - from.ph/31298 . It must be about 1888 as you can see the footings for the rail bridge and a workboat.

And another terrific Henry King photo (dated 1/5/1889) of the GENERAL GORDON at Peat's Ferry (Brooklyn) flying the stars'n'stripes - I think Captain Murray was American - from.ph/31614 . It was the official opening of the first railway bridge, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkesbury_River_Railway_Bridge#Fir...

The GENERAL GORDON was built in Terrigal (of all places!) according to this 1887 article on the first trip up to Windsor. Full details of the vessel etc - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/66373881

A snack, a drink, a pipe, a good book, a comfortable chair, a rug, a telescope, a view of the coast on the port side - what a great way to travel.
