The Lobethal Museum 50th Anniversary service will be held on Sunday, May 23rd at 2pm.

This church museum also houses the little “seminary” (pictured right), erected in 1845, which is of great significance. The first three Australian-trained Lutheran pastors graduated in 1855.

The 50th Anniversary Service of the opening of the museum will be held in the historic 165 year old church (unless the attendance leads us into the new church, in which case groups will be taken through the old church).

The Lobethal Community Website, www.lobethal.sa.au was launched last month at the Lobethal Bierhaus.

The website launch was introduced by Kathryn Featherstone, the chair of the Lobethal Community Association (LCA). Kathryn spoke about the objective of the LCA to support the development of the town and wellbeing of its residents and said the website is a fantastic tool to enable the LCA to deliver its goals.

If I said Dodge Special, Vauxhaull J Model, Super Charged MG, ‘A’ Model Ford, AT Chevrolet or Ford V8 Special, you’d think I was just talking about old fashioned cars. Well these are not just cars, they are mechanical masterpieces, built to race with thumping engines and graceful bodylines. These majestic beasts, and more, will be devouring the Lobethal racing circuit in a spirited demonstration of their prowess, and in the footsteps of their predecessors.
