BETHANY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA


'Bethany' (, postcode 5352) is a small village located about 2 km south east of Tanunda in the Barossa Valley. It was originally named ''Bethanien'', but was changed during World War I in an attempt to remove all German place names from Australia.
Bethany was the first settlement in the Barossa Valley area. It was settled in 1842, by Prussian immigrants who had leased land from George Fife Angas. The large portion of these initial settlers had arrived in 1841, with Pastor Gotthard Fritzsche on the Skjold.
