Hello Peter!
While this link is very limited in time frame it is ALWAYS worth a look
http://mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/
Given that you are a "Banana Bender<Grin> and a relatively new
researcher I'm sure many of the listers can offer guidance and some
information... just post some names/places and dates and wait patiently
for the surprises...

Other family members were born in Little River in 1853 which would hopefully be relatively easy to research.
