150 Years of SettlementPrint Page

Photographs supplied by Stephen Warren

The time capsule commemorates 150 years of the settlement of Bethany from 1842 to 1992.

Bethany was the first settlement in the Barossa Valley area. It was settled in 1842, by Prussian immigrants who had leased land from George Fife Angas. The large portion of these initial settlers had arrived in 1841, with Pastor Gotthard Fritzsche on the Skjold.
