Hahndorf Main Street ...

Just your normal run of the day street scene at Hahndorf :) Btw - The Hahndorf Academy is the local town information centre and museum. It houses a lot of artifacts regarding the early german migrant settlers of the town ... We were here 30 August 2022. From wikipedia : The town was settled by Lutheran migrants largely from in and around a small village then named Kay in Prussia and now known as Kije, Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland. Many of the settlers arrived aboard the Zebra on 28 December 1838. The town is named after Dirk Meinerts Hahn, the Danish captain of the Zebra. It is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement. During the British colonisation of South Australia, the settlers were mostly British, but some German "Old Lutherans" also emigrated in the early years. The first large group of Germans arrived in 1838, with the financial assistance of the Emigration Fund. Most moved out of Adelaide and to the Barossa Valley and settlements in the Hills such as Hahndorf, living in socially closed communities, by 1842, and did not participate in government until 15 years later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahndorf,_South_Australia
