During the 1840s, many Sorbian émigrés travelled to Australia, along with many ethnic Germans. The first was Jan Rychtar, a Wendish [[Moravian Brethren]] missionary who settled in [[Sydney]] during 1844.<ref>Nielsen. Georg, R. In Search of a Home,(1977); Birmingham Slavonic Monographs. {{ISBN|0 70440236 X}}.</ref> There were two major migrations of Upper Sorbs and Lower Sorbs to Australia, in 1848 and 1850 respectively. The diaspora settled mainly in [[South Australia]] – especially the [[Barossa Valley]] – as well as [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]] and [[New South Wales]].
