Ellery and Neumayer
In 1852, three years before Todd arrived in Adelaide, a 26 year-old Bavarian ship's officer, Georg Balthasar von Neumayer, arrived in Melbourne. About this same time Robert Lewis John Ellery arrived in Melbourne at the age of 25 to set up practice as a doctor in Williamstown, where in 1853 the Victorian Government gave him the task of establishing an observatory.
