Have a look at the Passenger Lists thread on the Records Office board. Do you know which part of Australia they went to? What was the name of the son born there, and his parents' names?

Can't see anything in Victoria or Western Australia either. Those are the only three States with BMDs online, but if you have a look on the Records Office board, there are a couple of threads offering look-ups in other Australian states.
