Hello Listers, Can someone please tell me if ships entered Australia through Gippsland, or did they enter through Melbourne and coastal vessels took passengers on to Gippsland? Looking for a Robert ARMSTRONG who 'landed in Gippsland' in 1867 according to Christchurch Museum,NZ biographies.Robert was born in County Tyrone (unconfirmed) and came to Australia and by 1876 had settled in Christchurch,NZ. I have no confirmed info on Robert until his marriage at Christchurch in 1881 Cheers, Suzanne Brisbane
