PS That article claims that Lutherans left Germany because of religious persecution - this appears everywhere in the written history of the Barossa. I actually did some research after I left, turns out religious persecution was not a significant reason for emigration.

Well it was a major factor. Luther wasn't very pleased with the bureaucracy and conduct of the Catholic churches. You can really think of Lutheran Christians as Catholics that follow the bible. It's basically the same without what I like to call "made up stuff". Sorry if I offended any catholics on the board.
