Auf der zitierten Webseite findet sich auch ein Abriss der Geschichte der deutsch-sprachigen Einwanderung nach Australien, die hier in Auszuegen wiedergegeben ist:
The German-Speaking Community in Australia
The Australian population of German-speaking background, German, Austrian and Swiss-German, experienced a dramatic growth in the decades after the Second World War. But there were earlier waves of immigration which made German speaking immigrants one of the largest groups of non-English speaking background in Australia.
Their presence stretches back to the earliest days of European colonisation. Commander of the First Fleet, Captain Arthur Phillip, was the son of the language teacher, Jakob Phillip, from Frankfurt.
The flow of Germans to Australia is detailed in The Australian People, edited by James Jupp. One of the most influential Germans to set foot on Australian soil was Ludwig Leichhardt, who later engaged in the epic exploration from North Queensland to the Northern Territory near Darwin in 1844. One of the first Swiss-Germans to arrive on these shores was Johann Weber, later anglicised to John Webber, a member of Captain James Cook's expedition of 1770.
The first prominent Austrian in Australia was Ferdinand Bauer, a botanical artist, who on the invitation of Sir Joseph Banks was the only non-British member to take part in the first circumnavigation of Australia under the command of Matthew Flinders in 1801.
Swiss settlers finally arrived in greater numbers in the first half of the 19th century. Having played a major role in the formation of significant sectors of Australian primary and secondary industry, German-speaking immigrants are nowadays more integrated into Australia's mainstream society than most other new settlers.
Today, the majority of German-speaking skilled and semi-skilled tradespeople who came to Australia during the last immigration waves of the 1960s and 1970s are hardly distinguishable from the rest of society.
Over the years the preservation of their culture has become more difficult given the near total integration of their second and third generation descendants into the mainstream. The inclusion of magazine-style programs in German and English in the Program is an acknowledgement of this trend.... (SBS German Program) HT
