I don't know the location of this place. Meyers does not 'know' it, as you checked yourself.
I found a reference on following site, but it still remains uncertain whether this is an actual place. What do you think?

That's a good find Dave and interesting (especially mentioning German immigrants marrying in order to receive government benefits - this is exactly what my own German ancestors did on arrival in Australia).

Can you translate the newspaper mention of Eleanore LOHR, it seems to mention a Franz LOHR?

Hello Dave

Thanks for that information it is fantastic.
It appears that Eleonore ( I now have a mother and father name and that he is deceased)) was 32years old and not married when she came to Australia but she had a child Anna Rosina Lohr. Who was Anna’s father???
She (Eleonore) was recorded as a “spinster” , which is correct, on her marriage certificate to Peter Faust October in 1861.
Regards
Terry
