Question regarding travel abroad

My Great Aunt and Uncle went to Australia from the UK for a holiday to visit their daughter, some time around 1960's.

I don't need it for my family tree, I have all that information, I need it to date a photo I have of all of them.

Have checked travel and immigration/emigration on Ancestry and FMP. Nothing there.

My question is "is this information available" please.

Passenger lists for shipping are on line but only up to 1960. As far as I know anything after that or for plane travel isn't available.

Googling brings some information -

Looks as though Oz kept lists until 1965 -
