Great-Grand and Grand- children are today proud of showing their German Heritage, knowing and accepting that they are carrying the burden of the countries past of the last century. The World Wars have prevented traditions and culture of German immigrants to be passed on to their next generation. The present generation has a great interest to reprieve and know about these cultures and traditions their ancestors brought to Queensland.
This book in an easy to read and illustrated way will give them knowledge about their ancestors and their contribution in the development of this great State of Queensland.
