Hi Douglas, I am not sure where you are writing from (which State) but in Adelaide we have the migration museum - port dock museum at Port Adelaide which is a mine of information. Port Adelaide is where the liners etc dock and discharge passenger, Might be Freemantle in Perth and Port Melbourne in Victoria etc A phone call or email to your local Migration museum might elicit some information or at the very least point you in the right direction.
