Ship "Albion" departed Dunedin March 1865

[clancam37]

According to Papers Past this ship departed Dunedin arriving in Hobsons Bay (Melbourne) 24th March 1865 (Ancestry).*  On board was a John Campbell born 1827 from Bluff Harbour.
Can anyone give me some clues who he was, where born etc.   Was he a passenger or crew?

NB. Remember fondly eating Bluff oysters visiting Invercargill years ago.

What is the source of the reference for Bluff Harbour please?

Does this mean he was last living at Bluff? ie from somewhere else?  Or from one of the very early Bluff families? 

'James Spencer established a trading post in Bluff in 1824 to supply visiting ships, becoming Bluffs first European resident and as a result Bluff is now considered to be the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in New Zealand'.

and
'In 1856 the town was surveyed by JT Thomson, who called it Bluff Town and named the streets after rivers in Ireland. That did not meet instant approval for he was ordered by the Superintendent of the Province, Captain Cargill, to change the name of the town’s main street from Shannon to Gore street, to honour Governor Gore Brown, and to rename the town Campbelltown to honour the Governor’s wife who was a Campbell. The Governors word was law and the town was officially known as Campbelltown until March 1917 when the name of Bluff was officially adopted.'

Hvae you found him after his arrival in Australia ie marriage, children, death?
