Victoria, Australia, Assisted & Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839–1923 on Ancestry

From Nicole Edwards, via the British GENES Facebook page (www.facebook.com/BritishGENES):

Digitised images of assisted and unassisted passengers lists for Victoria, Australia 1839 -1923 are now available on ancestry.com. Previously, a trip to the Public Record Office Victoria in Melbourne was required to view these on microfilm. There are some very happy family historians in Australia today! http://search.ancestry.com.au/search/db.aspx?dbid=1635

Access via Ancestry in the UK is at http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1635 - the collection is entitled Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839–1923.
