Join us for an insightful conversation with John Bilney during South Australia’s History Festival. In this engaging session, John will delve into the role of social capital in shaping the peaceful and prosperous Lutheran Barossa community. Using private records and family histories, he explores how social and cultural factors influenced early Barossa colonisation and the decision to emigrate to South Australia.

This is a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the region’s history and the complex dynamics behind its early settlement.
