Barely a half an hour's drive from Adelaide, Hahndorf, the oldest German settlement in Australia, conducts the Pioneer Women’s March every May to honour women who grew and supplied food to the region when there was a dearth of it in the newly established South Australia. The earliest Lutherans arrived here in 1838 to escape prosecution in erstwhile Prussia, and women who had never been on their own took the onus of carrying fresh produce that weighed up to 27 kilos and marched nearly 35 kilometres barefoot to the Adelaide markets thrice a week. Singing hymns in the dead of the night, they walked to provide food to a hunger struck area and brought not just money into their own economy, but also two bricks each time they came up. The St. Michael’s Church in Hahndorf is a testimony to the fortitude of its women who ferried bricks for its construction for over two years. The annual walk commemorates pioneering leadership and contribution of women in the formative years of a new country. It’s hard to unearth this past as I wander past shops selling cuckoo clocks, Christmas nutcrackers, and pork hock bites, but Sharon’s voice is heavy with emotion as she narrates her favorite story from the walking tours she conducts in her hometown. As my week in Adelaide draws to a close, I begin to see the town’s many layers. I drove down with John, my riveting guide through the week, to the small seaside suburb of Glenelg where he grew up. We board a boat to sail into the sea a bit, catch the sunset, and hopefully some dolphins that come in from the Antarctic ocean. We’ve spoken and exchanged so much, but as the boat’s sailing steadies and we leave the shores behind, we recede into a silence only interrupted by the exchange of a heartfelt smile now and then. There are many beautiful things I have seen, but a southern hemisphere sunset is the first. As the sun comes out from behind the clouds and the water reflects the orange skies, the dolphins emerge too. But only briefly, like my stint in Adelaide.

1. What is held in Australia's oldest German settlement?
