Jolly Rambler plyed the Launceston to Sydney route before sailing to Java and returning with goods to Swan Bay on 25 January 1835.^[3] Under the command of George Griffin, she ran ashore at Poverty Bay, New Zealand during a gale. She was refloated, repaired and returned to Sydney on 5 April 1836.^[4]
