Peter and Brenda Brown along with their two children Angela & Paul, travelled on the S. S. Australis from Southampton to Sydney, Australia as migrants. They departed from Southampton on February 8th. 1972 and arrived at Sydney on March 8th. 1972. Their route was via Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, and the ship also stopped for a day at Capetown, South Africa. Peter says they have many fond memories of the trip, even though it was some 30 years ago.

Further interesting information is in the booklet which Peter provided: Welcome aboard booklet.

Welcome all visitors to the S.S. Australis Website, which has now been online since 1998! I will continue to update the site if I receive a new story, or if you have interesting photos taken on the ship during your voyage on either the southbound, northbound, or on one of the South Pacific cruises. We used to do those trips several times a year from Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland (New Zealand). I am deeply moved by the interest and wonderful contributions from the numerous passengers and crew over many years. You can send an e-mail to me on the link below: A HUGE THANK YOU Warm Regards Ken
