Scroll through the digital copies of these lists, ship by ship, just as you would if you were going through a microfilm in the reading rooms.
These replace the earlier Passenger lists - NSW lists as families or singles,
Victorian lists have age of individual, or C=child, A=Adult and includes crew and maybe the paying passengers.

Mail Ships - a description of the usual path taken across the seas from England to Australia. News of the establishment of the contract mail service to New South Wales was printed in The Times on November 18th, 1843. The same paper carried an advertisement regarding the sailings of the packets, in which they were described as "first-class fast-sailing vessels, fitted with every regard for the comfort and accommodation of passengers, and so adapted as to render a regular and punctual communication between this country and the colony." Then it went on to say "The vessels will load in the London Docks and will in every case leave Gravesend on the first day of each month". Owing to the increasing number of vessels sailing direct for Port Phillip, mails for there were sent by private ship, unless endorsed otherwise, in accordance with Instructions No. 12, issued in July 1847. Instructions No. 8, of 1849, announced the termination of the contract as from March of that year. Following this all mail was once again sent by private ships, the rates being 8d. the half-ounce on letters and one penny each for newspapers. | ||
