From the Editor
Thank you to Peter for the June
issue. It’s great to be back in
Brisbane although I’m still feeling
the effect of too much food and
too little sleep. Still smiling at the
thought of literally running into
Lise Kopittke on Strøget in
Copenhagen on a busy Saturday
morning in May. What are the
odds of that happening?

It’s festival time in Brisbane with
the Teneriffe Festival, Abbey
Medieval Festival and the
Colombian Independence Day
Festival coming up in the near
future together with the
Scandinavian Film Festival at
Palace Centro. Keep an eye out
for these events if you’re
interested.

Skt Hans Eve at Saga Viking Village at Petrie
Hot dogs, warm coffee and cake and glögg were popular among the many guests at
the Saga Viking
Village at Petrie
for the Skt
Hans bonfire.
The fire burned
well in the cold
while
everybody sang
along with the
Scandinavian
choir
accompanied
by Steinar on
his accordion.
12 tents were
pitched for the
many guests
who braved the
cold and
camped
overnight at the
village. Pancakes for breakfast made it all worthwhile.
A big thank you from the club goes to Saga Vikings for their hard work to make the
evening possible.

HILARIOUS OPENING NIGHT FILM TAKES AIM AT IKEA
THE 2015 SCANDINAVIAN FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY PALACE
QUEENSLAND: THURSDAY 16 JULY – SUNDAY 26 JULY AT PALACE CENTRO
After the stunning success of the debut Scandinavian Film Festival last year, the
2015 program, presented by Palace and screening exclusively at Palace Cinema
locations, will showcase the most exciting dramas, comedies and thrillers from
Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Here is your first taste of the
Nordic film feast, which opens from 8 July nationally.
The second Scandinavian Film Festival will open with the uproarious HERE IS
HAROLD (Her er Harold), a Norwegian road movie, about a man who sets out
to kidnap the founder of Ikea. For over 40 years, Harold has been running a
successful business, "Lunde Furniture". But this comes to an end when IKEA
decides to open a new superstore right next door to his small furniture shop. In
mounting anger and desperation, Harold wants revenge. He arms himself with
a pistol and sets off for Älmhult, Sweden, in order to kidnap his Nemesis --‐ the
founder of IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad. But unfortunately, Kamprad is quite happy
to be kidnapped.
Having picked up Best Film, Actor, Actress, Director and seven more awards at
the Edda (Icelandic Academy) Awards, unsparing Icelandic drama LIFE IN A
FISH BOWL (Vonarstræti) tells three congruent tales of three people who have a
lasting effect on one another. This naturalistic portrait of everyday life in
Reykjavik on the eve of the country’s 2008 economic meltdown touched a nerve
on home turf, becoming one of Iceland’s biggest-ever domestic hits.
Based on a series of Finnish radio plays, THE GRUMP (Mielensäpahoittaja) is a
broad satire from director Dome Karukoski (Heart of a Lion Scandinavian FF
2014) who returns to the comedy-of-bad behavior mode of his 2010 box office
hit LAPLAND ODYSSEY. The film tells the story of a set-in-his-ways, 80-year-old
farmer from rural Finland, who raises hell when he is forced to move in with his
city-dwelling son.
A modern take on class conflict plays out in the critically acclaimed debut film
UNDERDOG (Svenskjävel) by Swedish director Ronnie Sandahl. The drama tells
the story of 23-year-old (magnetic comedian Bianca Kronlöf) who dreams of a
different life. Like an abundance of Swedes her age, she has fled the mass
unemployment of her home country in search of a more worthwhile existence in
a nouveau-riche Oslo. But her new life is caught in destructive loop of temporary
jobs, financial trouble and hard partying, until she lands a job as a housekeeper
for a wealthy ex-sportsman. During a few sultry summer weeks she ends up in
the centre of an odd love triangle, an unpredictable struggle for affection as well
as dominance. UNDERDOG is a tender and raw story of privilege and longing,
yet at the same time a humorous and unmerciful observation of the shifted
power balance between Sweden and Norway.
Named by Variety as one of the “TOP 10 EUROPEANS TO WATCH”, Norwegian
Writer/Actor/Director Ole Giæver brings us OUT OF NATURE (Mot nature) a
commentary on middle-class life and the Norwegian penchant for idealizing
nature. With a wry Scandinavian sense of humor, OUT OF NATURE is a sharp and
compelling film about a put-upon salary man who seeks spiritual and sexual
renewal in the great outdoors.
Danish thrillers once again take center stage with this taunt sequel to smash hit
THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES. In THE ABSENT ONE (Fasandræberne), a troubling
affair involving a double murder of twin siblings is reopened by the Copenhagen
cold-case division after the kids’ father commits suicide. The Nordic noir-style
mystery that toggles between the past and the present as it uncovers what really
happened in the 1990s at one of the country’s poshest boarding schools is the
second adaptation of a Jussi Adler-Olsen novel in the Department Q series. This
film brings the entire behind-the-scenes team back together with director Mikkel
Nørgaard and lead actors Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Fares Fares.
From Sweden, YOUNG SOPHIE BELL (Unga Sophie Bell) is Amanda Adolfsson's
longed for debut feature, and the second film to come out of Stockholm Film
Festival's scholarship for female directors. In the drama, two university friends
move to Berlin after graduating, but their dreams are shattered when one
suddenly and mysteriously disappears.

Simonsen / Weickhorst
My Danish family by Les Simonson
My great grandfather Jens Peter Simonsen emigrated here from Rue (Rø?) in
1874, alone at 27, on a ship called the Humbolt as an assisted passage
immigrant. We believe that he had TB and was looking for a better climate. But
also there was mention of the Germans rounding up young men to fight in their
armies at the time and he may have been avoiding that also.
He arrived at Hervey Bay and at some stage moved in with my great grandmother
Francis on a selection on Elliot Heads Rd between Bundaberg and Elliot Heads
south of Bundaberg. Francis’ first husband had earlier died. The property was
about 1km long x 250m wide and still remains there virtually untouched today,
although there is a development application on the property.
They later moved to another selection called Watawa just outside Gin Gin, southwest of Bundaberg. This is where they raised their family of 12 children, my
grandfather Ernest being the last child before Jens died of TB at the tragically
young age of 39. Ernest was born after Jens died and never knew his father. Jens
is buried in an unmarked grave on the original property on the side of a road. I
have visited the site and seen the remains of the grave. It is sad that this is where
he has ended up, and it is always my intention at some time to mark the grave
properly or possibly to have him moved to the Gin Gin cemetery.
I have researched much of Jens’ life in Gin Gin and have many local and school
records showing his name and signature together with various photos. Most
importantly I have a copy of a letter he sent to his parents telling how hard life
was with droughts etc, and also apologising for not being able to send money back
home to them.
Most of the Simonsen children left Gin Gin and moved north to Mackay and Sarina
where they all appear to have become farmers. There is one Simonsen still living
in Gin Gin. Ernest went off cane cutting up in Cairns around the age of 16. There
is then a big gap in his life, but he ended up in Brisbane in his twenties, married
with two daughters. At the age of 27 he was fighting in WW1 in the Somme in the
47th battalion and survived over there for three years, the last being spent in a
German POW camp. His war diary shows that when he was released from the
camp he made his way to Denmark, so possibly visited his family there.
It is also interesting to note that my mother’s family (Weickhorst) similarly came
over from Denmark in 1865, on a ship named The Sophie. They settled in
Maryborough and later in Bardon in Brisbane. I now own the house which my
grandfather built in Bardon in 1930.
The descendants of the immigrants from The Sophie have all met for various
anniversaries over the past decades. In August this year, there will be a huge
gathering in Maryborough of all of the descendants from that ship to celebrate the
150th anniversary of the arrival of all the families on the Sophie in 1865. One of
the descendants has recently written a book about the whole saga, and we believe
it may be launched at the gathering in August. I will keep you informed!
INDTRYK FRA DANMARK (IMPRESSIONS FROM DENMARK)
Danmarks skove bliver overtaget af ramsløg (ramsons, wood garlic).
Den middelalderlige urt, der tidligere har været brugt som krydderurt, nyder igen
kronede dage og ikke alene præger den billedet i store skovområder, den synes at
være ved at overtage det hele.
I alle fald kunne vi både på Sjælland og Bornholm observere store områder dækket af
den egentlig ganske kønne plante med hvide blomster, og den synlige tilstedeværelse
blev da sandelig også fulgt op med en duftoplevelse.
Vi håber ikke, at hele Danmark bliver overtaget af den rask voksende urt, der
heldigvis også er populær som del af måltidet – ganske spiselig er den – dejlig
sammen med for eksempel ovnstegte kartofler.

Kastellet in Copenhagen is one of the best preserved star fortresses in Northern
Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagram with bastions at its corners.
Kastellet was continuous with the ring of bastioned ramparts which used to encircle
Copenhagen but of which only the ramparts of Christianshavn remain today.
A number of buildings are located within the grounds of Kastellet, including a church
as well as a windmill. The area houses various military activities but it mainly serves
as a public park and a historic site. The house shown here is ‘Stjernestok’.
KONTINGENT 2015/16
Nu er det tid til at forny dit medlemskab af den danske forening ‘Heimdal’. Kontingentet er uændret $40 pr person eller $60 pr husstand/familie. Du kan indbetale
beløbet direkte til klubbens bankkonto i Suncorp Bank (BSB 484-799 Kontonr. 02495
1468) med angivelse af dit navn og medlemsnummer eller med check udstedt til
foreningen (sendes til medlemskoordinator Birte Schmidt, 35/192 Hargreaves Road,
Manly West QLD 4179). Du kan også gå til vores hjemmeside
www.danishclubbrisbane.org og bruge Paypal. Betal inden 21. juli 2015 og du
deltager i lodtrækningen om en præmie (udtrækkes til Cafe Danmark 24. juli 2015).
Klubben ser godt ud efter en gennemgribende ombygning af køkkenet sidste år, hvor vi
bl.a. fik nye køkkenborde og skabe, ovn og et mobilt køleskab med hylder, der passer
lige til smørrebrød. Cafe Danmark sker den 4. fredag hver måned (undtagen
december og januar) og her serveres traditionelt dansk smørrebrød, som vi efterhånden er blevet ret ferme til at lave takket være en masse frivillige hjælpere. Husk,
at der altid er plads til flere! Og køkkenet kan også klare en skøn hot dog og baren en
kold Tuborg.
I forbindelse med Cafe Danmark kan du altid købe godt rugbrød, dejligt wienerbrød og
organiske småkager fra Britt’s Organics, og kød, pølser og pålæg fra Flemming, vores
danske slagter. Vores udbud af lakrids fra Danmark er også ret populært, der er
næsten altid både Matador Mix og Super Piratos at få. Som regel kan du også købe
sild, fiskeboller og torskerogn. Makrel i tomat er en anden historie, de sælger så
hurtigt, at vi dårligt når at annoncere dem!
I 2012 fejrede vi klubbens 140-års jubilæum med den Skandinaviske Festival i Austin
Street, som blev en stor succes. Vi gentog successen i 2013 og 2014 og er nu i fuld
gang med at organisere den næste festival søndag, den 13. september 2015, så sæt et
stort kryds i kalenderen. Hvis du har ideer til aktiviteter eller boder eller lyst til at
hjælpe, kan du skrive til Søren på [email protected] eller ringe på
0437 612 913.
Medlemsbladet udkommer hver måned. For at få bladet ud hurtigere og spare på både
miljøet og portoen, udsender vi bladet via email, så det er vigtigt at holde klubben
orienteret, hvis du får ny emailadresse. Hvis du foretrækker et trykt eksemplar, er det
selvfølgelig helt fint. Du kan også holde dig ajour med klubarrangementer på vores
hjemmeside www.danishclubbrisbane.org.

MEMBERSHIP FEES 2015/16
It’s time to renew your membership of the Danish Association ‘Heimdal’. The fee
remains the same at $40 for a single membership or $60 for a couple/family.
You can transfer the amount directly to the association’s account with the Suncorp

Danmark 24 July 2015.
The club house is looking pretty good after the kitchen renovation last year with new
bench tops and cupboard, oven and a mobile fridge with shelves just right for
smørrebrød. Café Danmark is on the 4th Friday of every month (except December and
January) and is an opportunity to try traditional Danish smørrebrød; by now we’re
pretty good at preparing it thanks to our many volunteers. Always room for one more!
The kitchen also serves great hot dogs. Goes down well with a cool Tuborg from the
bar.
At Café Danmark, you can also buy Danish rye bread, delicious cakes, organic biscuits
and yummy pastries from Britt’s Organics. Flemming, the Danish butcher, offers a
variety of Danish smallgoods. If you’re hanging out for real Danish salty licorice, you
have come to the right place. Get your ‘Matador Mix’ or ‘Super Piratos’ in our lolly
shop. We usually also have herring, fish balls and tinned cod roe (torskerogn) on sale.
In 2012, the club celebrated its 140th anniversary with a Scandinavian Festival in Austin
Street which was a great event. We did it again in 2013 and 2014 and are now busy
planning this year’s festival on Sunday 13 September 2015. Mark the date in your
calendar! If you have any ideas for activities or stalls or just want to help, write to
Soren at [email protected] or ring on 0437 612 913.

Election in Denmark 18 June 2015
On 27 May 2015, Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Social Democrats) called an
election to be held on 18 June 2015. The relatively short election campaign focused
on individual candidates rather than party policies with the usual accusations of ‘they
said they would, but didn’t’ flying around and polls showed that the election result
would be close. Election day was a rainy affair, but still over 3 million voters or
approx. 85% turned out to vote on the day. Many observers and experts and not to
mention the politicians themselves were astonished to see Dansk Folkeparti (‘The
Danish People’s Party) which originally split from Glistrup’s Fremskridtsparti under the
leadership of Pia Kjærsgaard in 1995. Current party leader Kristian Thulesen Dahl
gained the most personal votes and led his party to become the second largest party
in Folketinget (parliament) with 37 representatives. The party’s policies include a
curious mixture of a strict migration policy and strong welfare system, no doubt a
strong vote winner. The party is against the EU, whereas its leader is an avid
supporter of the EU – and Liverpool Football Club, by the way, he celebrated his win
by singing their anthem ‘You’ll never walk alone’.
In spite of an improved result for her party, Helle Thorning-Schmidt resigned as
prime minister and party leader, leaving Lars Løkke Rasmussen, the leader of the
Liberal Party (which suffered a bitter set-back), to form government.
‘Valgkvidder’ in the MetroXpress reports (in translation): The election is like having a
choice of Pepsi and Coke and no matter what you choose, you’ll get a Jolly (Danish
cola-drink).
Party Slogan: ‘If you want to work harder, you better vote for another party.’
We can advise on freight Australia wide!
