Assisted passage.

Would there been any form of assisted passage to Australia in the mid to late 1800's, apart from military and transportation etc.

Thanks Julie and Dave,
The shiplist.com is interesting, you could tell who they 'wanted' from the scale of payments. Obviously young blood required.

Thanks again.

Steve.
