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? Smoked herring as served in Gudhjem on Bornholm (photo: Soren Hoimark) 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.

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.

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. (fotos: Soren Hoimark) 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’.

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.

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.

Check your membership card. 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! 0411 297 236 [email protected] Abbey Medieval Festival (www.abbeymedievalfestival.com) will be happening over the weekend 11-12 July 2015.
