There is one KB Mead listed in the Telstra White Pages in regional Queensland. www.whitepages*com*au

Try the Australian National Archives and use the RecordSearch. www.naa.gov.au I found 1 Ronald Mead (a ship deserter) and 1 Ronald Henry Mead who came to Australia by plane with his family.

This is The National Archives online information leaflet about ships' passengers' lists. It doesn't cover all dates, just 1878-1960. nell
