There's a good lot of Bethel history documented now. The Voigt/Vogt family history book tells some. More on the net: http://www.wendishheritage.org.au/news/2012-04-28_175659.php and also follow the link in the middle of it. In 1997 I carefully inspected the Schondorf grave stones, expecting the spelling to be more likely "Schöndorf" but it clearly wasn't.

Thanks Brian!

Not a hotel. Refer to my comments with your other photo of Andrew Thomson's drapery shop.

Thanks for the tip, but where i live is about 200km to the closest pub - so, 20km is near enough for me.

This is the former Kapunda Showground (wall and pavilion) - 8 acres purchased in 1880 by the Kapunda and Light Agricultural Society, from the mine manager Robert Morton. This show hall, built in 1900, replaced their original one. The annual show was held here until 1921, after which it moved permanently to Dutton Park.

Ah, interesting, thank you :-)
