Diary of C.W. Schurmann by Greg LockwoodClamor Schurmann was a 23 year old missionary from Dresden when he arrived in Adelaide in October 1838. By Christmas the following year, he could start teaching school in Kaurna laguage, to Kaurna children. Even Elder Mullawirraburka sent his children to the riverbank school. In 1840, with his colleague Christian Teichelmann, Schurmann published a Kaurna grammar and dictionary. He accepted an invitation from Kaurna men to join a five day kangaroo

Clamor Schurmann was a 23-year-old missionary from Dresden when he arrived in Adelaide in October 1838. By Christmas the following year, he could start teaching school in Kaurna laguage, to Kaurna children. Even Elder Mullawirraburka sent his children to the riverbank school. In 1840, with his colleague Christian Teichelmann, Schurmann published a Kaurna grammar and dictionary. He accepted an invitation from Kaurna men to join a five-day kangaroo hunt. On trips to Encounter Bay he became conversant with the Ngarindjeri language.

In September 1840, however, Governor Gawler asked Schurmann to transfer to the troubled settlement at Port Lincoln, there to serve as Sub-Protector of Aborigines. Unlike in Adelaide, Schurmann found it frustratingly difficult to make contact with the local Barngarla (Parnkalla) people. He persisted nevertheless, and in 1844 was able to publish a grammar and dictionary in Barngarla.

Relations between settlers and locals on Eyre Peninsula kept deteriorating as settlement expanded, leading Schurmann to resign. Later, at North Shields via Port Lincoln, he returned to his beloved vocation as a teacher of Aboriginal children.

During his days in Adelaide and Port Lincoln, Schurmann kept a diary in German documenting his experiences with the British colonists, the different German groups and First Nations peoples. His diary is published in full here for the first time, in Greg Lockwood's meticulous and lively translation.

Great diesel treatment for everyday use
Size: 128 fl. oz, 1 Pack
I use this Hot Shot’s Secret Everyday Diesel Treatment for my diesel truck, and it has been a great product to keep on hand. The 1-gallon size is a good value because it treats a lot of fuel and makes it easy to use regularly. I like that it is made for everyday diesel maintenance, not just occasional use, and it gives me extra confidence that I am taking better care of the fuel system. A very practical product for diesel owners who want something reliable for regular use.
