The most common route to Australia from Britain and Europe was via the Suez Canal. Stopovers were at Port Said in Egypt, Port Aden in what is now Yemen, and then via the Arabian Sea to Colombo in Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon). From there the route continued across the Indian Ocean to the Western Australian Port of Fremantle.
The other route was via the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of the African continent. This route took the big ships from London via Lisbon to Cape Town, and then across the Indian Ocean to Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney.
