Roberta, further to my earlier response below, I can now confirm that
the /Aurora/ at least, sailed directly to NZ.

Hi Roberta,
Did settler ships call into Australia before arriving in NZ? Maybe
this will help:
My wife's great-great-grandfather, R.R.T. Davis & family arrived in NZ
in Jan 1840 on the /Aurora./ From what I can find it appears, from
travel times, &c, to have sailed directly from London (Gravesend) to
Wellington (Port Nicholson) without calling in at Australia.
"/The “Aurora,” a barque of 550 tons, commanded by Captain Theophilus
Heale, left Gravesend on the 18th September, 1839 and arrived at Port
Nicholson on the 22nd January, 1840. She had 148 emigrants, and 21
cabin passengers, on board. There were 25 married couples, 36 single
persons and 40 children./"
