Part of the ships papers were missing and the port of departure and arrival was not recorded
Date of arrival may be disputed. The passenger list has the 7th of October written on it but I believe that it was added at a later date. I have seen two newspaper items that state that the ship arrived on 7th August and also on 6th October.

Obituary
MRS. SAMUEL ROBINSON.
A long life of a devoted wife and mother came to an end somewhat unexpectedly on Monday night last, when Mrs. Samuel Robinson passed away peacefully as she rested in bed at her home at Warialda Railway.
Until quite recently the old lady had enjoyed good health, but during the last few months it was known from medical observation that her heart was rapidly weakening in its function.
Deceased was born at sea, her parents being aboard the "Queen of the Colonies " on the Atlantic Ocean on their voyage to Australia. Soon after landing, the family made their way to the Tamworth district, and from there they moved to Tingha.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson (Miss Catherine Jones) were married in the Presbyterian Church at Inverell on January 19th, 1887, and for a couple of years they lived in the cottage on the Presbyterian Church grounds, which was only recently demolished, Mr. Robinson acting as caretaker.
He was then working at his trade (coachbuilding) for the late M. Ryan. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson then went to reside at Graman, where they managed the hotel for several years, Mr. Robinson then changing over to a business in his own trade. After fifteen years at Graman, they moved to Gravesend, in 1902, where they erected and controlled the hotel. Disposing of that business the family moved to their present place of abode at Warialda Railway.
The late Mrs. Robinson was held in high esteem in the community. Of kind and amiable disposition, she at all times evinced a desire to assist those in need. Besides a husband she leaves seven daughters and three sons. The daughters are Mrs. W. Clingan (Casino), Mrs. G. N. Campbell (Moree), Mrs. R. Hartin (Werris Creek), Sister Florence (living with Mrs. Campbell), Ethel (South Kensington), and Cicely (Warialda Rail.) The sons are Messrs. Joseph and Cleeve (Gravesend), and Samuel (Warialda Railway), Another son, Claude, (of near Gravesend) died recently.
The funeral took place on Wednesday at mid-day, a large cortege following the remains to their last resting place in the Presbyterian portion of the cemetery. Rev. P. A. Smith conducted the service.

Mr. A. A. Wardle.
The death occurred early yesterday morning, after a long illness, of Mr, Alfred Alexander Wardle, at the age of 72 years. The late Mr. Wardle, who was born in Deptford, England, came to Australia with his parents in the sailing ship, Queen of the Colonies, in 1865. The late Mr. Wardle was one of the first ferrymen on the Brisbane River. He first manipulated the pulling-boat type of ferry, and later was engaged on the punts. He subsequently became skipper of the Edward Street and Customs House council ferries. He had been closely connected with ferry traffic for about 50 years. When, a few years ago, the City Council decided on the retrenchment of many of their oldest employees he was relieved of his position, though for a short period he was in charge of the Charlotte Street ferry. The late Mr. Wardle, who was predeceased by his wife and his four daughters, is survived by his son, Mr. Alfred Morris Wardle (Mt. Gravatt), and two brothers, Messrs. William Henry Wardle and George Bennett Wardle.
