Hello from the UK, I have trying the arrival of VINCENZO ROCCA into Australia
the only information I have is:

DEATH: 18/04/2009 ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA
any tips/info great appreciated
Can’t be 100% sure with the limited details, but there is the following Vincenzo Rocca who arrives in Melbourne in 1954 (25y old, i.e. born abt 1928/1929). He seems to end up South Australia …
Incoming passenger list to Fremantle(= first Australian port for the ship!) - “Surriento” arrived 16 May 1954
