Advice about finding people departing NZ 1875-76

Classification: Query
Surnames: Schaeler
My Schaeler ancestors (Heinrich 32 and Anna 30) arrived in Wellington on the ship Lammershagen during July 1875. They quickly moved to Queensland where the family has been settled since 1876.

I have located their departure in the Hamburg Shipping Lists by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke. I have found some on-line lists that record their names in the list of passengers arriving in Wellington.

For some reason, they must have departed NZ very quickly for Queensland. Their first daughter was born on nthe family farm in Queenland on 15 July 1876.

I would like to find their departure (date/vessel etc)from Wellington (or elsewhere?) to Queensland (probably Moreton Bay/Brisbane) between July 1875 and July 1876.

I would really appreciate guidance in how to find and search any trans-Tasman passenger lists for ships departing New Zealand.

Interestingly, I have a computer-scientist son working in Auckland and a soldier-firefighter son working in Christchurch.

Thank you very much
