From the Editor
The World Cup is
over – congratulations to Spain for
their fantastic win.
Last month I
reported that the
weather in
Denmark was cold,
grey and rainy; how
things have
changed since
then, they have
enjoyed summer
temperatures over
30˚ in the past
couple of weeks
with no rain to
speak of, quite a change. Here In Brisbane
it’s been fairly mild so far this winter - a
good time for planning events for the
coming year. Our annual general meeting
is happening in September: this is your
chance to have a say in how the club is run
by joining the committee. The committee
meets once a month and also participates
in club events. It’s a great opportunity to
find out how a club is run in Australia, so
come on, complete the nomination form,
get behind the scenes and help keep the
club going – 150 years in 2022 is our next
milestone, but there are many hot dogs to
be made and sold in the meantime!

Den Kongelige Livgarde
En fortælling om baggrunden og hverdagen
i en garders liv
af Danni Richter
Baggrunden for denne beretning skal findes i
et besøg i jeres klublokaler i sidste uge. Min
kæreste og jeg er på et 6 måneders
studieophold i Brisbane, og i den anledning
har vi haft midlertidig ophold hos Lone og
Søren. Det var egentlig bare meningen, at det
skulle være et hurtigt stop for at klare nogle
ærinder i jeres klublokaler, men under
fremvisningen af Jeres faciliteter skimter jeg
noget, jeg ikke har set i flere år. En
vagtuniform fra Den Kongelige Livgarde
formodentlig fra slutningen af 1970.
Da jeg selv er tidligere garder, og da jeg kunne
forstå, at der mangler en beskrivelse af livet i
Den Kongelige Livgarde samt en historisk
gennemgang, så jeg mit snit til at skrive denne
artikel.
”En gang garder, altid garder”
Regimentet har igennem historien haft
forskellige navne. Således blev regimentet
oprettet under navnet Kongens Livregiment,
hvor den første chef var Frederik Ahlefeldt. I
1684 skiftede regimentet navn til Den
Kongelige Livgarde til Fods, som det hed
indtil 1867. Regimentet blev oprettet som
følge af, at Frederik 3. indså, at
Roskildefreden, som var indgået med
svenskerne 26. februar 1658, formentlig ville
blive kortvarig. Regimentet bestod, som det
eneste danske regiment på daværende
tidspunkt, udelukkende af soldater fra det
danske område, hærens øvrige regimenter
rekrutterede også udlændinge til at øge de
danske styrkers antal. Kommandosproget i
livgarden, var også fra første færd dansk, mens
det i resten af hæren var tysk. Med disse tiltag
håbede kongen at sikre sig en større loyalitet
fra regimentet. Regimentet blev oprettet under
mottoet ”Pro Rege Et Grege” - For konge og
Folk – mens man i nyere tid har anvendt
mottoet ”En gang garder altid garder”.
Første gang regimentet var i kamp, var efter
svenskerne havde brudt freden og var gået i
land i Korsør, den 8. august 1658. Under den
efterfølgende belejring af København i 165859 udgjorde livgarden omkring 20 % af den
danske styrke.
Derefter deltog livgarden i samtlige danske
krige og et par udenlandske. I nyere tid har
Livgarden også været et af de regimenter i
Hæren,
som
udsender
personel
til
internationale operationer. Personel fra
Livgarden har været udsendt til Kroatien,
Bosnien, Kosovo, Eritrea, Afghanistan og
Irak.
Blod, sved & Brasso
”Den gang jeg var garder”, er måske den
hyppigst anvendte sætning når tidligere
gardere fortæller historier om deres tid i Den
Kongelige Livgarde, og jeg er ingen
undtagelse. Den gang jeg var nyindkaldt rekrut
til Den Kongelige Livgarde – november 2002
– var selve værnepligten 12 måneder, som
traditionen altid har været. Dette er dog ændret
med det nye forsvarsforlig, så værnepligten nu
er nede på 6 måneder.
De første 4 måneder er den såkaldte ”grønne
tjeneste”, der referer til den uniform man har
på i denne tid af tjenesten. Disse måneder
adskiller sig ikke markant fra andre
regimenters rekrut tid, der ligeledes kun
handler om at nedbryde folk for derefter at
bygge dem op igen. Den eneste forskel der er i
denne periode er den massiv indøvning af
eksercits, som senere udgør hele baggrunden
for vagttjenesten på bl.a. Amalienborg og
andre af de danske slotte.
Udover den enorme mængde fysisk træning,
samt indøvning af almindelige militære
færdigheder, har man i Den Kongelige
Livgarde en tradition for orden og disciplin
hvilket bl.a. kommer til udtryk i 45 min.
stueeftersyn hver morgen, hvor alt fra
vanddråber i feltflasken eller kalkpletter på
armaturet på badeværelset kunne medføre straf
i form af ekstra fysiske øvelser senere på
dagen.
Derudover skal der gejles – oppudsning med
skosværte så man kan spejle sig i læderet –
vagtstøvler, vagttasker, pudses kobber på sabel
osv. Denne proces starter allerede 2 måneder
før vagttjeneste, da det tager ca. 200-300
timers arbejde at opnå det resultat, man ser på
de gardere, der står vagt på de danske slotte.
Den grønne tjeneste afsluttes med den såkaldte
REX-tur, hvor den enkelte garder får udleveret
sine REX-mærker, som skal sidde på
garderens uniform – først herefter kan man
kalde sig for garder. REX-mærket er et
symbol for den siddende regent. På REXmærket i toppen af siden kan man se tre
symboler, et M, et 2-tal og et R. De står for
Margrethe den II Rex (Regina), der jo som
bekendt er den siddende regent.
Den blå tjeneste
Efter endt rekruttid går turen fra de faste
rammer på Høvelte kaserne til Gothersgade
kaserne i midten af København. Her står de
næste 4 måneder på Kongelig vagttjeneste og
ikke mindst en masse timer med forberedelse
af udstyr.
Livgardens vagttjeneste afhænger af kongefamiliens opholdssted. Amalienborg har været
hovedresidens siden 1794. Fredensborg har
været brugt siden 1863, Marselisborg ved
Århus siden 1902, og Gråsten Slot siden 1935.
Christiansborg Slot benyttes ved særlige lejligheder.
Det
karakteristiske
røde,
mangekantede skilderhus kan føres tilbage til
indvielsen af det første Christiansborg i 1740.
Livgarden bestrider også vagten, hvis der
f.eks. kommer ambassadørbesøg, eller ved andre kongelige begivenheder, såsom bryllup
eller barnedåb.
Vagtkompagniet består af tre vagthold, 1.-, 2.og 3. vagthold. 1. vagthold omfatter de højeste
af garderne, 2. vagthold de mellemste, og 3.
vagthold de laveste (mindst 175 cm.) – hvilket
selvfølgelig er det bedste vagthold, eftersom
det var det hold, jeg var tilknyttet. Små,
farvede plastclips (delingssløjfer) på skulderstropperne på M/84 uniformen (den grønne
hverdagsuniform) og farvede sabelkviste i forbindelse med blå/rød uniform, angiver garderens vagthold; 1. rød, 2. hvid og 3. blå.
Et eksempel på en uge i vagtkompagniet for 1.
vagthold kunne typisk se sådan her ud:
•
Mandag: Tiltrædende vagt
•
Tirsdag: Aftrædende vagt
•
Onsdag: Ø-dag*
•
Torsdag: Tiltrædende vagt
•
Fredag: Aftrædende vagt
•
Lørdag: Fri
•
Søndag: Tiltrædende vagt
* Ø-dag bruges på at øve eksercits - dog når
garderne er blevet gode nok, typisk efter 1-1½
måned, får man fri på Ø-dagene (Ø-fri). Der
kan ikke ligge Ø-dage i weekenderne. Hvis
man lige er startet i vagtkompagniet, og man
f.eks. er aftrædende vagt om fredagen, kan
man derfor ikke have Ø-dag om lørdagen.
Man har så fri i stedet. (artiklen fortsætter i
næste nummer)

Pension fra Danmark og skat
Modtager du en pensionsydelse fra Danmark, som der trækkes skat i? Husk, at
hvis du er australsk statsborger, skal der
ikke trækkes skat i Danmark. Hvis du er
dansk statsborger, som betaler skat i
Australien, kan skattebeløbet modregnes
i australsk skat. Hvis du ikke betaler
skat,er der dog ikke mulighed for modregning.

Felicity looking for Danish Couples
(any age) and danish male/female
actor in their 60s
If you are able to locate any Danish
couples who are interested in talking to
me - or even just putting their thoughts
into an email I would really appreciate it.
They could live anywhere in Australia but
we are mostly interested in couples who
are both Danish - of any age.
We just need to get some ideas as to
why a couple might relocate to Australia
- ie business, academic posting, etc and why they might stay - ie weather,
relaxed lifestyle, etc.
I’m an Australian actress and film writer.
I have co-written a feature film with my
husband Kieran Darcy-Smith
(www.bluetonguefilms.com) who is an
actor/writer/director. We are in the final
stages of financing our film and are in
talks with a Danish actor (Nikolaj Lie
Kaas) for one of the pivotal roles.
Also if there are any Danes living in
Australia who are or who have been
actors in the past, we are looking to cast
a male and female in their sixties to play
the mother/father roles. We would love
to hear from them. I am contactable on
my mobile: 0416 237 721 email:
[email protected] . My husband
can be contacted via his email address:

Many thanks for your time. Regards,

Who Played with Fire”

Come and join in the lively discussion
Our little group has been discussing
Scandinavian books related to the music
genre. I have been reading Simon and the
Oaks by Marianne Fredriksson who, if you are
unfamiliar with her works, is a wonderful
Scandinavian author who writes with a true
warmth for all her characters. Established
amidst the background music of the violin,
this novel recounts a tale of family friendship
and love. Simon Larsson, is a pensive and
thoughtful boy growing up in Sweden during
World War II, fortunate to be safe within a
remarkably loving and cohesive community.
Half Jewish, he is being raised by his
Scandinavian aunt and uncle, who adopted him
as their own at birth. In a novel rich in
mystical overtones, his adoptive parents take
on truly archetypal dimensions. Karin's deep
love and compassion is matched by Erik's
understated strength and stoicism, and
together they create a firm family base from
which 11 year-old Simon can grow and dream.
But Simon, who doesn't know the story of his
birth and adoption, seems set apart from his
Scandinavian world by his dark hair and olive
complexion, and he often retreats into
fantasies to alleviate his feelings of
disconnection. When he befriends Isak
Lentov, a young Jewish boy from Germany,
their families become close in spite of the
contrast between Isak's father's religious
faith and the Larssons' strictly secular
Swedish socialism. These two opposing
viewpoints help form a unique framework for
Simon and Isak as they come of age and work
toward finding meaning in their lives, and as

Harrestrup Å
Københavns miljøborgmester vil bruge en halv milliard kroner på at restaurere Harrestrup Å I det
vestlige København og lave sandstrand ved Kalveboderne i Valby. Harrestrup Å skal forvandles fra
en kedelig kanal, lejlighedsvis kanal for spildevand, til en rekreativ naturperle. Det mener
miljøborgmester, Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard (SF), som er parat til at ofre næsten en halv milliard kroner
på et projekt. Det skriver Berlingske Tidende. Der er tale om et projekt, der skal sikre rent vand i åen
og ændre den fra at være en flisebelagt kanal til at være et let slynget vandløb til gavn for naturen og
københavnerne.
»En genopretning af åen gavner plante- og dyrelivet. Den giver samtidig københavnerne mulighed for
rekreative udfoldelser, og endelig vil åen kunne absorbere vand fra de heftige regnskyl, et ændret
klima kan give os flere af«, siger Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard.
Han vil have Københavns Energi til at sikre rent vand i åen for 350 millioner kroner, og under de
kommende budgetforhandlinger vil han have afsat 95 millioner kroner til de fysiske ændringer, der
skal ændre den flisebelagte kanal til et naturligt vandløb.
Når åen ikke længere leder overskydende spildevand ud i Øresund, er det målet for miljøborgmesteren at etablere en sandstrand ved Kalveboderne i Valby.

Olsen-banden er større end Avatar
Avatar har haft enorm success I Danmark, men formår ikke at slå Egon, Benny og Kjeld.
Filminstruktøren James Cameron star bag både den mest sete og den 4.-mest sete film i danske
biografer, siden man begyndte at opgøre tallene i 1976.
’Avatar’ med 1.169.000 solgte billetter indtager fjerdepladsen på listen. Den er kun overgået af
’Olsen-banden ser rødt’ fra 1976 på 3.-pladsen, ’Ringenes herre: Eventyret om ringen’ fra 2001 på 2.pladsen og så Camerons forrige megasucces ’Titanic’ fra 1998 på førstepladsen, viser en opgørelse
fra Danmarks Statistik.

ferier, oftest til Danmark og arbejde mv,
vil vi meget gerne se flere medlemmer.
Vi tror trods alt det gavner børnene at
mødes og lege samt høre, at vi alle taler
dansk.
Vi starter normalt med fri leg og ca kl 11
sidder vi alle omkring et bord og spiser
vores medbragte mad – og slutter gerne
dagen med nogle danske børnesange.
Med venlig hilsen
Tea, Morten, Charlotte, Tina
