Description

This description was supplied with the photograph and included in the library catalogue and has been edited: The Aboriginal Mission Station, Bloomfield River, was founded by the sons of Frederick Bauer (of Vilele Plantation). Louis G. Bauer became the first Superintendent, erected his own quarters and laid foundations to what he anticipated would become a prosperous experimental farm, with tea, coffee and tropical fruits being grown in commercial quantities. After one year, in 1887, the Mission was transferred by the Government to the Lutheran Church of South Australia.
