They departed Plymouth on the 29 Sep 1886 on the SS Aberdeen and arrived Sydney on 13 Nov 1886.
Austral
A google search for Orient Liner Austral returns quite a couple of interesting sites. Assuming they refer to the same ship: The Austral was launched in 1881/1882. I found Austral print at Amazon where you can expand the images even more. Unfortunately they have no stock. According to Norway-Heritage: Search for Austral under ships it was launched in Dec 1881 the capsized in Sydney Harbour in November 1882 with the loss of 4 lives. It was refloated and repaired in 1883 and then spent some time in 1884 travelling between Liverpool and New York for the Anchor Line. This sited does not mention the UK Australian route but says the ship was scrapped in Genoa in 1903.
