In the middle of South Australia, there is a place where German traditions have remained alive. Black, red and gold flags fly here, it smells of pretzels and "Bienenstich" cake, and the streets are reminiscent of a miniature Germany. SBS correspondent colleague Barbara Barkhausen visited Hahndorf — and not only discovered familiar clichés, but also met a young German who calls the place home. She also discovered a very special culinary specialty: exceptionally good marmalade.
