The town was settled in 1838 by Lutheran migrants fleeing religious persecution in Prussia. They arrived on board ‘The Zebra’ and named the town after the ship’s captain Dirk Hahn, while 'dorf' is German for village. Hahndorf is now home to St Michael's Church, founded in 1858 and said to be the oldest Lutheran congregation in Australia on its original church site.

Experience this onEnjoy a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience on your Australia tour at one of the country’s most important sea lion breeding grounds at Seal Bay. On a guided walk, you’ll learn about the Australian sea lion—one of the rarest species in the world of only 12,000, 800 of which call Seal Bay home. Hear how these endangered animals hunt, surf, interact with their pups, defend their territory, and—as “eared” seals—use their front flippers to prop themselves up and their back flippers to help them to “walk” on land. Your entry fee assists in the extensive, environmentally sensitive upgrades to the Seal Bay infrastructure, including the boardwalks and visitor centre. In addition, the introduction of the Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park protects the sea lion feeding environment from overfishing while the sanctuary zones keep them safe harm.
Experience this onTravelling to the heart of the Flinders Ranges, your visit to Wilpena Pound Resort is a special chance to experience a place that has been owned by the Aboriginal Adnyamathanha people who have lived there for thousands of years. Know that your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience visit to the resort helps by contributing towards the sustainable economic future of the Adnyamathanha who in turn work with the resort to minimize the environmental footprint and participate in the conservation of the region. Adnyamathanha (meaning “rock” or “hills people” in Yura Ngawarla) is a culture that has been passed down for generations in their spiritual connection to the sacred land. You’ll feel this connection as you are welcomed to Wilpena Pound Resort by an Aboriginal Elder or member of the local community and learn about the area in a traditional Welcome to Country ceremony—experiencing this stop on your Australia tour with the locals.
