 In 1941, German Templers were shipped from Palestine and interned for the duration of the war, which led to the establishment of the Temple Society Australia.After arriving in Australia on 25 August 1941, the Templer's established themselves in Camp 3 in Tatura.Because of their previous internment during World War I, they were experienced in living in those conditions, and established a school and a kindergarten, as well as developing work routines to prevent depression.
