Abstract

Germans were among the earliest settlers in the Geelong region — their presence was visibly identifiable in the early township of Germantown, now Grovedale. This paper makes a contribution to recognising the legacy of the pioneering Germans in the region and the Humboldtian visualisation of Geelong captured by German artist Eugene von Guérard. The stimulus for the paper was the contemporary German event in Geelong when Deakin University generously hosted the 2022 conference of the Australian and New Zealand Associations of von Humboldt Fellows at its Waterfront Campus.
