German vinedressers in Camden

Brought to Australia by the Macarthur family, to tend the vineyards on their Camden estate, the German immigrants of 1838 were the first foreign immigrants admitted under the 'bounty' scheme. Their families prospered and spread from Camden around New South Wales.

Camden

Suburb situated on the floodplain of the Nepean River, on the traditional land of the Dharawal people. It was shaped by its landed gentry from the time of John Macarthur's original land grant in 1805, until the Macarthur family influence faded in the 1950s.
