Hi Anne It seems, from the National Archives information sheet on the subject (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/research-guides/passports.htm) that the index is all there is. At that time, passports would only have been issued to individuals with a particular need for documentary evidence of the protection of the Crown - merchants travelling to strange and dangerous parts, for instance. An emigrant to Australia would not have needed one.
