In 1885 she migrated to Australia. The following year she was appointed teacher at Ruyton Girls' School in the Melbourne suburb of Kew. Also in 1886 she published her book on German grammar, Deutsche Verb-Tabellen, commenced a German literature class at the Athenaeum, and was elected a member of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria. Until she moved to Sydney, Friederich was a regular exhibitor at Club meetings. Between 1888 and 1892 she was in New South Wales. Here she advertised as a teacher of languages and was appointed to teach German at a girls school in Randwick. Friederich was an active member of the Natural History Association of New South Wales, exhibiting at meetings and regularly publishing in local newspapers under the auspices of the Association. Among these articles were series under the headings "Lessons on elementary animal physiology", "Animal stories for the children", and "Orchids in Australia". By September 1892 she was back in Melbourne where she was elected a member of the Victorian branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia. A keen natural history collector, she donated specimens to the Australian Museum and the National Herbarium of Victoria. She disappeared from records in 1893 and probably left Australia. 1864 1864 Life event - Recognised by the state to act as a nursery teacher in Stralsund, Prussia 5 September 1885 5 September 1885 Life event - Arrived in Sydney 1886 1886 Publication - Deutsche Verb-Tabellen or, the accidence of the German verb systematically arranged and simplified, Melbourne 16 January 1886 16 January 1886 Career event - Appointed teacher, Ruyton Girls' School, Kew October 1886 October 1886 Education - Sat the matriculation exams at the University of Melbourne, placing first in French and German 6 October 1886 6 October 1886 Career event - Commenced a German literature class at the Athenaeum, Melbourne "for ladies with advanced knowledge only" 8 November 1886 1893?
