Hi Delphine, thanks for your offer, I was'nt begging a copy, I have one
containing my few *family*, which I checked but on these pages, there were
no THOMASs, so presumably yours left at a different time to mine ! Family I
have there now was able to get to Brisbane and get a copy for me and post it
over.
Shame about the picture though, it's a horrible shame when people do that
sort of thing, presumably you have tried to *Google*. I found my SMITHs
ship by doing that, it was the Jumna.
Good hunting and regards Mick

Hi Mick,
Sorry I don't have the complete passenger list. I got my info from the
Q'land State archives over 15 years ago . Also bought a photo of the "High
Flyer" which I lent to someone and didn't get back.
I probably won't have a chance to get to the Archives until about
September --will be out of the country --but if you email me again around
then I'll go and get another copy for you and see if whole passenger list
is
available.
Cheers Delphine in Brisbane --(for the next 2 weeks !)
