Thank you for your information. I have read the article on his death through the trove site.
How can I find how David travelled to Australia and when?

I have searched the ancestry.com site passenger lists and family search site but not sure where else to look.

I believe that David Murray Streader was born in Skirbeck, Boston area UK. Would that information be recorded in the Church records?
regards Megan

Left a wife and four children

Spouse Name: David Murray
Marriage Place: Victoria
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Year: 1854

Online outgoing passenger lists don't start until 1890

Where have you been looking?

Several articles on the incident (also appears that their son also died in a mining accident):

Hi. I am looking for any information on David Murray Streader who I believe was born in Lincolnshire in 1828 and emigrated to Australia - Bendigo Victoria, where he died in 1883 in a mining accident. He was married to Mary Martin but I don't know where, may be in 1855. I can not find any passenger lists with his name
