Hi, The ship BORDA appears to be carrying mainly farmers/farm labourers/farm apprentices.
It also appears most were nominees or assisted, even a few 'child labour schemers' amongst them.

There is every chance Bert was contacted/assisted or similar to the old Bounty Immigrant.
If you contacted Australian National Archives they may hold more information on him (as part of which ever scheme he arrived via), as the nominee/assisted/contracted passengers would have had specific places they were being sent to.
