A German ship's doctor, Herman Koeler visited South Australia in 1837. His ship, the Solway, was wrecked at Encounter Bay and he remained in Adelaide living in Glenelg until April 1838. His account of the Kaurna people, language and customs and life in colonial Adelaide was first published in Germany in 1842.
