Germans have played a significant part in Australian history since
1788. For the first hundred years of European settlement they were
the largest ethnic group on the continent, contributing to the
development of the hinterlands of Queensland, New South Wales,
South Australia and Victoria. Today there are an estimated 700,000
people in Australia of German descent. In the first hundred years
of European settlement in Australia they were welcomed as
industrious settlers and daring pioneers, skilful scientists and
respected members of the medical and legal professions. Although
two world wars soured the relationship between Australia and
Germany and undermined the positive image Germans held, the second
half of the twentieth century saw this situation improve markedly.
The Germans in Australia, published in 2007, offers a detailed
insight into the impact of large scale German immigration on
Australia, highlighting the social and cultural impact they have
had on Australian life.
