Harold Davies of the Music Teachers’ Association of South Australia in 1930 and the first President of the Music Teachers’ Association. From 1838 many German people came to live in South Australia because of religious and civil strife in their own country. They settled mainly at Hahndorf and the Barossa Valley, bringing with them their religious and cultural values and a willingness to work hard. Carl Freidrich Eduard Reimann, a farmer, and his wife Blondina Klotilda Leontina, née Schroeder, came from Schmölln, Prussia. They arrived at Port Adelaide on January 16, 1850 on the Emmy, which had sailed from Hamburg. They were part of a large scale migration that followed the 1848 revolution, a series of political upheavals throughout Europe. Eduard and Leontina established a farming property called Rebensberg near Hahndorf. -
