Australia - Hermannsburg Historic Precinct
Hermannsburg Mission established in 1877 became a harbour for aborigines after massacres and maltreatment by pastoralists. In an attempt to provide full employment for the aborigines a large vegetable garden and orchard, beef cattle ranching and a tannery were set up. The Historic Precinct shows the remainders of the mission.

Since the 1970's, the Ntaria ladies choir has continued it's singing tradition. In this video the choir performed at the church inside the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct as a part of the Desert Song Festival 2019.
In recent years the Ntaria choir has collaborated with Pitjantjatjara community singers to form the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir.

115. Hermannsburg Historic Precinct Campground, NT
Our first 2 nights in West MacDonnell Ranges ( I begin the video saying the East MacDonnell Ranges however clearly my sense of direction at that point was astray) were here at Hermannsburg, approx 90 mins drive west from Alice springs. The first Aboriginal Missionary it was built in 1887. It now offers a great campsite to stay and go explore Palm Valley in the Fink Gorge National Park.
During our stay here we learnt the history of this former Lutheran Mission, enjoyed their famous Apple Strudel and ice cream and saw wild Brumby's as they galloped and ate right behind us.
There are toilets, hot showers and water.
There is free wifi at the reception area. I had Telstra coverage however no Vodafone or Optus.
The campground is pet friendly.
Cost is $10 per vehicle for night.
Our stay was 19th and 20th May 2017.

Outback Australia 4wd | MacDonnell Ranges | Palm Valley | Hermannsburg | [2018] ALLOFFROAD #144
After our Madigan Crossing, we had 8 days to spend around Alice Springs before we would return through the Simpson Desert Cross Country on our way back. We decided to pay a Visit to Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) as hadn't seen them. When headed into the MacDonell Ranges towards the Fink Gorge NP to follow the Fink Gorge and River South to East via Boggy Hole. This 4wd only track is one of the few options around that area to get in low range and do some 4w driving as most areas, which are still incredibly beautiful, are very commercialised and can be visited via 2wd. We also paid a visit to the Palm Valley, Hermannsburg and its Historic Precinct, Two Mile Creek Camping area and the Ellery Big Hole join me for this Adventure...

My icon is the astronaut or a photo overlooking an oceanside city.
Please help me if you possibly can. I am trying to verify that the pictures of the people seen are all taken in Hermannsberg. I do know that the picture of the minister and church are. I would also like to try and identify the people seen, if at all possible. I do know of the Aborigine tradition of not being photographed and I respect that tradition. I appreciate your help in this endeavor!

[Wikipedia] Hermannsburg Mission
The Hermannsburg Mission (German: Hermannsburger Mission) was founded as the Hermannsburg Mission Centre (Missionsanstalt Hermannsburg) in 1849 in Hermannsburg, near Celle, North Germany, by Louis Harms. In 1977, the independent mission society was merged into the work of the Evangelical-Lutheran Mission in Lower Saxony. As a result, it became an institution recognised by the state church.

Hermannsburg, 1929: Turning Aboriginal 'Primitives' into Modern Psychological Subjects.
This public lecture was held at the Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, on 17 May 2012.
In 1929, the Lutheran mission at Hermannsburg (Ntaria), central Australia, became an extraordinary investigatory site, attracting an array of leading psychologists wishing to define the 'primitive'mentality of the Arrernte, who became perhaps the most studied people in the British empire and dominions. This is a story of how scientific knowledge derived from close encounters and fraught entanglements on the borderlands of the settler state. The investigators - Stanley D. Porteus, H.K. Fry and Géza Róheim - represent the major styles of psychological inquiry in the early-twentieth century. They wanted to evaluate 'how natives think', yet inescapably they found themselves reflecting on white mentality too. They came to recognise the primitive as an influential and disturbing motif within the civilised mind - their own minds. These intense interactions in the central deserts show us how Aboriginal thinking could make whites think again about themselves - and forget, for a moment, that many of their research subjects were starving.
