Hoping someone out there may be able to help

My Great, Great Grandmother Caroline nee Siewert married to Johann Friederich Wilhelm Bochow) in Rudersdorf Germany & had 3 children
Karoline Auguste Marie born 18 Jan 1849 (known as Mary)
Karoline Friederike Auguste born 4 Dec 1846 (known as Auguste)
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm born 13 Feb 1851

Caroline nee Siewert remarried after the death of Johann Bochow on 4 Feb 1854 to August Fechner & had Children

Caroline, husband August & family and son Carl Bochow came to Moreton Bay 1877 on the Charles Dickens.

The question I want to know is did Carl's sister Mary & Auguste came to Australia to. Cannot find a marriage for them on the Qld Records.

But on my Great Grand mother Caroline Fechners death certificate 14 June 1918 at Nerang Q
Carl Bochow her son of ist marriage was the informant
And has recorded in the names of issue living from his mothers first marriage Augusta 72, Mary 70 & himself Carl 67 as well as the Children from Caroline's second marriage.

Would this mean that Augusta & Mary were in Australia or was the family still in contact with them in Germany.

Maybe someone out there is connected to Augusta & Mary and can help me

All the best
