Built for the Orient Line, It was operated by the Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd on the United Kingdom to Australia service as part of a Mail service agreement with the Commonwealth. An attempt to launch on 21 Jan 1909 was thwarted by frost, but a second attempt on 26 Jan 1909 was .successful. Mechanical problems were to dog her innauguaral voyage to Australia, with repairs required at Plymouth , Port Said and in the Red Sea. Insulated holds provided for about 2,500 tons of perishable produce.
During World War I the Osterley was used as a troopship by the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). After her final sailing as a troop ship in 1919, Osterley returned to the Australia service before being sold to P.& W.MacLellan of Glasgow in 1930 for breaking up. She made 59 return journeys to AUstralia.
