 **Early German Settlers in the Bega Valley** with Peter Ubrihien

 Peter Ubrihien [pronounced “oobrian”] is of German descent - his great grandparents left Hamburg in Germany in 1854 and arrived at Twofold Bay on the barque ‘Caesar’ in 1855. Some years later his grandfather married one of the first non-Aboriginal women to be born in the district.

 Peter has an intimate knowledge of the history of German settlers in the Valley, from those early days through to the First World War and then on to the present day, and will share some of this fascinating history with us.
