Newspapers
The Digitised newspapers section of Trove covers the period up to 1954 and is a very useful source for passenger arrivals. We recommend using Advanced search and selecting Northern Territory newspapers or New South Wales and South Australia newspapers for early arrivals. The image on the right is an example of the type of announcement you may find.
