Yes Neale1961 
That was my thoughts too. It often depended on who was going to where and if the ship carried cargo as well as passengers.  Most did back then.
 Was it a steam ship by the dates between stops I think so.

This has made me think bout my grandmother traveling 1912 back to England. No idea what ship she was on.

Yes, I suspect it probably stopped at Colombo.

Certainly Colombo was noted as a port at which the Waipara stopped in November 1912 on its voyage from London to Brisbane.
