Hi Denise There is quite a lot about German emigration in the book :- Valley of the Crooked River - European Settlement on the Nambucca" ISBN 0 86840 205 2 by Norma Townsend. An interesting read even if not specifically about your Germans. I learnt about this book on the Bellingen site www.rootsweb.com/~nswbelli/ Mine was Franz KOCH who changed his name to Francis COOK born Baden and came to Australia with his parents on the ship Triton in 1853.
