Whether it helps or not, I don't know, but there was a Herbert Henry and Nellie Staulkey living at 2 Gatehouse Yard, Halstead Urban, Saffron Walden, Essex.  From the Electoral Register.

Hi Harry Wrag

If they settled in Australia you should check the passenger lists on the
National Archives of Australia website which are free on-line. Best source.

Just reread your post.  So this was coastal transport. 
Mr or Mrs Staulkey might be all you find.
HOWEVER, Staulkey is I would think a rare name so might be worth pursuing Trove.
You should note some migrants "arrived" in Australia at one port
and then proceeded to their final destination by coastal service or train. 
Tasmania is a tad difficult to go to by train  ;D

Also use the Advanced search facility on Trove newspapers
to use the name of interest as a phrase
then limit by state and date range
and maybe the vessel as a term separate to the phrase.

Sometimes the passenger list of vessels appear for later ports. 
So for example sometimes South Australian newspapers listed passengers
 for Victoria New South Wales or even New Zealand.

The newspaper list you hold might not be the only one to be found
 and one from a different newspaper might contain different details.

Also do not dismiss google Name as a phrase ie " "
and the ship may yield a source less known.

Finding out if the vessel did the trip as a routine service
might help you determine if this was something like
a train trip would be for us or some great move of country.

Also see if there is a record of them in Melbourne. 
As the record you have is arrival there might be a departure list
 in Victorian papers or further north or west.
If the goods carried are listed too this would indicate the nature of the vessel.

There is still a ferry service between Tasmania and Victoria.
But they no longer publish passenger lists.

Good Hunting

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/51430109  Here is a live link for that article in the Examiner, 11 July 1927.  Page 4.

ADD, so only one person by that surname, so Mr Staulkey was one of a number of a passengers named in the Saloon and there were about 65 un-named passengers in the second saloon.

I cannot find any other instance of the surname at the digitised newspapers : https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/advanced/category/newspapers

hi kiltpin, phenolphalein & majam,
                                                  thank you all for your kind help and ideas regarding the passanger list for the name staulkey it does look like the loongana was was a more local ship to australian waters so looks like if my staulkey at some point went to australia it would be around this time 1927? wonder if he appears on shipping lists uk to australia the name staulkey is indeed very unusual and i can trace it to the leiston area of suffolk i have done searches for the name wideley and can find only the ones i have, it was just yesterday i was in the trove site and thought i would key in the name was surprised when it came up im wondering if a spelling mistake in newspaper the one i think could be a possible for tasmania austraila could herbert henry staulkey my grandfather he married nellie tokley 25/12/1918 but the marriage did not last long till they seperated i know herbert suffered shell shock 1st world war. but ive found herbert death 10/2/1945 burried willesden cemetery london so if him he must have came back so would be interesting if this was a staulkey at tasmania or perhaps a printing error its got me so curious now be great if anyone can throw any light on this thanks everyone for there input     harrywrag.
