This is the King of the Mississippi 1/80 scale kit. A "Renewed version"is being advertised by Hobby Tools in Australia.
Can anyone advise as the differences between the old version and the renewed version please?

Yes I saw the same thing and wondered about the differences.
 
There are many differences. Just look on internet images of the vintage version and the new one. The vintage has a more elegant look. The new version has a cargo section. I have both in my building queue

Ok.... let's put this together. Now there has been 3 versions of the King of Mississippi

From oldest to newest. I have the first 2. I am not sure if I like the newest version.

Compare the new instructions with the older ones on the site ( not the really old one at the top of the three images.). Different wood base, different upper & middle railing. Different rear paddles & supports. Different build process for hull_ planking vs ply, different keel. Window structure different..
You should download both sets of instructions from the AL website and see.

The final kit build and look is similar.

I built the middle one. It was $200 Austrlian when I purchased it from Games World of all places. Hobby tools AU have the cheapest AL kit prices as Std, however Frontline & Hobbco in Syd have AL specials every so often.
