There are a variety of books on this topic of the migration of German migration, specifically, the Prussian Lutherans to South Australia, which can be sourced from Gould's Bookshop (http://www.gould.com.au/South_Australia.htm).  As more are discovered that are specific to the Barossa Valley, I'll list them here.
