Denham Family IN Australia

I am wondering if anyone can tell me where and when the Denham family came to Australia. As far as I know they were based in Victoria but my branch arrived in Western Australia in the early 1900. Any help would be gratefully received.

Here's one family I recall;
around the end of August 1860 the clipper Champion of the Seas arrived in Port Phillip carrying a Denham family who settled in Collingwood, Victoria.
John Dickson DENHAM born in Ayton, Berwickshire, Scotland about 1821 and died in Ayton, Berwickshire, Scotland in 1856 was married to Jane KNOX1820-1910. After he died Jane packed up herself and children and came to Australia. Jane died in Clifton Hill a suburb of Melbourne on the 12 September 1910
The children were:-
Mary Denham 1843 – 1910
James Denham 1846 – 1927 m. Jane Bradbury 1853-1927 and died in Brunswick
Elizabeth Denham 1848 – 1919 m. Hugh Ferguson died in Victoria
Robert Denham 1850 – 1928 m. Annie Burgess 1853-1927 died in South Melbourne
Christina Denham 1852 – ? m. David Bradbury died in Victoria
Jane Denham 1854 – ? m. Samuel LAKE died in Victoria.

Hi Janilye, Thank you so much for your reply. Unfortunately none of this family are related to my Denham family as far as I can see.
