Hi - Yes, that works just for the ship's name, but if you put in the name without the date it starts at 1919. So you would need to know the date of arrival before searching, and also already know who was on board because no passenger list transcribed as yet.
If it arrived in Sydney in May is there a discrepancy, if it just called in en route to NZ?
If you can see that Vic fiche at a genealogical library it might give you more background details.
