From Hamburg to Hobsons Bay
 by Tom Darragh and Robert Wuchatsch 

This book, published in 1999, covers the beginnings of German emigration to Victoria, including the significant contribution made by William Westgarth; the reactions of some of the 700-800 pre-Separation emigrants to their new homeland; and the names of many of those passengers who arrived aboard the Godeffroy, Wappaus, Dockenhuden and Emmy in 1849 and the Pribislaw and Alfred in 1850. 

Included in the book are English translations of a collection of letters written back to Germany by nine Victorian German and Wendish settlers, along with a small book written by the Wend Carl Traugott Hoehne, a Pribislaw passenger who returned to Germany in 1852. Hoehne’s book, about his emigration experiences, was published in 1853.
