Further comments

Bertha does not know the exact date of her arrival in Australia, she only knows the year, so I have put 01/01/1877,

Another possible ship: the Fritz Reuter online on a site called "Roots Chat" - a ship left Hamburg 15th June 1877 and arrived in Rockhampton on 6th October with 408 passengers, so she could well have been on this.
