Ebenezer is a locality in the northern Barossa Valley of South Australia. It includes the historic Ebenezer settlement settled by 72 Wendish Lutherans who had migrated from Silesia in January 1852.[1] It also includes the nearby Neukirch settlement founded in 1854 by another group of Lutheran immigrants.[2]

The town of Walla Walla in the Riverina area of New South Wales was settled in 1868 or 1869 by 56 German settlers who travelled 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from Ebenezer in 14 covered wagons and two spring carts in search of newly available farmland.[3]
