Booklets were issued to migrants leaving UK for Australia. Apart from clothing, there are costs of passage, food prices, wages for various occupations, flora and fauna, and what to expect on the journey and on arrival. Here is what it says about clothing: OUTFITS AND PASSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. "The usual length of the voyage to the Australian Colonies is about four months and to New Zealand a little longer; and as, at whatever season of the year it may be made, passengers have to encounter very hot and very cold weather; they should be prepared for both.
