Dear Karen, There is information about these immigrants and this scheme in State Libraries (NSW anyway) family history collections - shipping records, sponsors etc. There is also at least one book about the scheme, the people and their experiences called "Greetings from the Land Where Milk and Honey Flows" edited by Cloos and Tampke. It may not give you personal details of your ancestors but lots about the immigrants' experiences.
