Ferdi Klaus gründete den Deutschen Klub in Geelong

SBS Radio is celebrating its 50th anniversary, but the German Club in Geelong, Victoria, is another 20 years older. The founder is Ferdi Klaus, from Cologne, who is 92. He lives with his wife in Grovedale in Geelong. This is the part of town that was also known as Germantown. Our traveling reporter Kia Kuhnert visited him there and was told how the club was founded in the dark post-war years.
