QUEENSLAND'S GERMAN CONNECTIONS - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Founding settlers remembered

Above: A remarkable image taken in 1914 in front of the Lutheran Church at Bethania to commemorate the 50th anniversary of settlement – every person in this picture, save for the urbane Dr Eugen Hirschfeld in the front row, was in the founding group which arrived on the Susanne Godeffroy in 1864. Image courtesy Lutheran Archives via Kleinschmidt family collection Right: Although not the best reproduction, this 1926 image taken from the Rocky Point sugar mill, looking south, gives an idea of the scrub-cleared flatlands of Pimpama Island.
