This is what I've discovered on English language webpages
Unfortunately not many people have put their Kuchel/Kuechel family databases on this website, unlike Seiffert which has many hits but unfortunately not your Anne. For your future reference - Just by entering solely a place name (Ort) in the search facility, brings up all the surnames other people have traced who used to live in that place.

http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/SAgermanindex.shtmlThe passenger lists of each ship seems to consist of small groups of people from specific places. Each shipping line had shipping agents and I'm surmising that the place name grouping was organised by different shipping agents.

I see that your ancestor's occupation was in the wine making industry and during my research I've accidentally learned that expert workers were much in demand by rich estate owners who actually sent out agents across Europe to "head hunt" them. Interesting that the captain's name is also the name of the place your ancestor settled in. I don't know whether your ancestor took out his own vines or went to work on an existing estate, but it might be fruitful to investigate. A rich man's biography is usually in history books and could give further clues.
When I looked for a place name
"Langmeil" - I found that there's a place called
Alsenbrück-Langmeil in the Rhineland. The Rhineland is extremely famous for it's vineyards. As you have already stated there's
also a Langmeil in old Prussia near Brandenburg and I see that the land there is also suitable for growing vines.
Coincidentally there was a group of passengers who arrived in Australia on the ship Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel, from Bremen 21st April 1845 to Port Adelaide. This is a submitted entry and the author states he got the information fromm various places.

the question I would be asking is, did the ship's list actually state this full place name: "Langmeil,Bandenburg", or did the author add "Brandenburg" from an online amateur family tree historian's notes?
