1844: July 25th - JOSEPH ALBINO, from New Zealand with Captain Finnis, arrived Hobart Town August 6th, 1844.
The HOBART TOWN COURIER reported upwards of 40 people arrived on board the JOSEPH ALBINO
"the greatest portion of whom are emigrating from New Zealand to South Australia. Some few will remain in Hobart."
Whilst the Hobart Town Courier reported that the greatest portion of these passengers
were going on to South Australia, we have not yet discover which ship they arrived on.
1844 August 31st - ADELAIDE OBSERVER: EMIGRANTS FROM NEW ZEALAND.
The JOSEPH ALBINO left several English settlers at Hobart Town with Captain Finness, arrived Adelaide August 27th, 1844
with about 40 German passengers (names not listed in the SA REGISTER newspaper).
They will be located for the present at the suburban village of Klemzig, SA.
The JOSEPH ALBINO has brought to these shores about 40 German emigrants - men, women and children - who, being reduced
to a state of extreme destitution and distress, were glad to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by Captain Finness,
to quit the land of their disappointment, for one which (it is hoped) will be found every way adapted to their wants and circumstances.
They described the state of the colony (NZ) as wretched in the extreme. All who can leave (English as well as German) are leaving.
Another batch of Germans was waiting to escape by the next vessel, and will probably arrange with Captain Simpson for their passage hither.

1844 SA REGISTER newspaper: We understand that Captain Simpson, who recently sailed in the JOHN PIRIE for NEW ZEALAND
is authorised to afford passages to fifty emigrants from New Zealand at £2. a head, if he should be applied to by any unemployed persons
whose capabilities and character would entitle them to such a boon.
