I examined what motivated him, the sacrifices he made and what became of the family he left behind in Germany. The ensuing biography, titledem> Dark Sun/em>: Te Rapungaem> and the Quest of George Dibbern/em>, is a timely and inspiring chronicle of what one man can accomplish when he thinks for himself and acts upon his convictions./p>p>My goal to bring about an affordable reprint of George Dibbern’s much sought-after book em>Quest/em> has also been met. The process took several tries and in the end I self-published, but to see the new em>Quest/em> take shape has been very rewarding./p>p>In addition, my long-held vision of a restoration of Dibbern’s ketch em>Te Rapunga/em> is being realized! Twenty years after my husband and I made our first research trip to Australia, I received the news that the boat had been purchased by an a group of wooden boat and local history enthusiasts, backed by an eco-tourism company of Bruny Island, Tasmania. The restoration of this historical boat will, they feel, be a way of bringing attention to Dibbern’s life and philosophy, so applicable to these challenging times. The progress of this new adventure will be recorded in the Restoration segment of this site./p>p>The “George story” seems to be never-ending, and new findings continue to appear. In the early years of my research, there was nothing about “Dibbern” on line — except for fine bone china. That has changed substantially and thanks to the generosity of people who have known him and have sent memorabilia as well as anecdotes, newspaper clippings and photographs, the Dibbern collection continues to grow. It will be up to the Dibbern families to decide where the collection will ultimately be housed, but in the meantime, for anything you might want to know about George Dibbern, this is the place to visit./p>p>ERIKA GRUNDMANN/p>/div> /div> /div> div classcol-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-1 hidden-xs> /div> /div> div classrow is-flex> div classcol-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-1 hidden-xs> /div> div classcol-lg-7 col-md-7 col-sm-7 col-xs-12> div classfrontpagepanel styleflex-grow:1> h3>a href/blog>Latest Blogs/a>/h3> hr /> div> div> h4>a hrefblog/article/latest-videos>February 8, 2019 — em>Te Rapunga/em> restoration - latest videos/a> /h4> p>Bruny Island Coastal Retreats have released a set of videos about the restoration of em>Te Rapunga/em>./p> /div> div> h4>a hrefblog/article/te-rapunga-in-my-hand>October 8, 2018 — i>Te Rapunga/i> in my hand/a> /h4> p>A few weeks ago I received a small “package” from Andrew Denman, whose company Denman Marine in Kettering, Tasmania, has been contracted to complete the restoration of em>Te Rapunga/em>. a href/blog/article/te-rapunga-in-my-hand>em>Read more/em>/a>/p> /div> div> h4>a hrefblog/article/new-look-new-news>May 14, 2018 — New em>Look/em> and New em>News/em> !/a> /h4> p>An update of the George Dibbern web site was long overdue.

What a tremendous job you have done. I do feel I know George Dibbern and would have appreciated him. I am going to try to find a copy of Quest as I am still not absolutely clear on what he termed his philosophy, and maybe it wasn’t altogether consistant or even coherent, though the basics of individual human freedom and the goal to be a citizen of the world are in my view admirable if virtually impossible to achieve. It is frustrating to watch freedoms being whittled away as security diminishes, and yet how can it be otherwise with the sheer growth of human numbers and complexity of technology. Yes, I share many of George’s frustrations! Perhaps my greatest frustration is watching the environment going down under a relentless onslaught of excess. Suffice it to say, this book provides lots of food for thought.
