Hi Sue What is the name of the ship? Newspapers might help - sometimes in the shipping columns you will see where one ship sighted another somewhere out in the ocean and they report it when they get to port or the may be a report of something that happened during the voyage. In particular check the newspapers on the 25th and 50th anniversaries of the arrival in Brisbane. I found passengers reminiscing about the voyage of the Darling Downs in 1874 25 years later. The newspapers are searchable now at Trove at the National Library. Have you looked at the Qld State Archives for any other journals diaries etc? Log of Logs all 3 volumes may also have information on where other similar documents are. The passenger list also sometimes says that they dropped passengers off at other ports on the way to Brisbane.
