The young evangelist Heinrich Friedrich Niemeyer, commonly referred to as H.F. Niemeyer, was not sent to mission in Australia by the former new apostolic chief apostle Friedrich Krebs in 1883 - rather he said, "and if all heaven falls in I will go" when his expression to go to Australia was opposed by the Apostles in Europe. He settled in Hatton Vale and started his mission among German immigrants. After a short period he gathered 80 people. In 1886, he was ordained as during a visit in Germany. After the death of Friedrich Krebs the new chief apostle Hermann Niehaus tried to strengthen his position in comparison to the other apostles and introduced reforms whereof a conflict occurred. After a general apostles' meeting in 1911 Niemeyer was not expelled from his office and the church but withdrew himself from it. All Australian church members followed him with the exception of a handful of families. Later others returned to the New Apostolic Church as they saw the difference of teaching and blessings! Therefore, the apostolic church of Qld history only starts in 1911.(see the Mt Beppo Church signage states est 1884 and then a small flag displaying 1911 separately was added some time later. Looking at cemeteries there and Binjour Plateau, as well as Monto and Tarampa (1885-1905), many New Apostolic members were interned there prior to the rift in 1911.
