Historical Walk in Lille Hareskov
Hi
You are all invited to Southern Cross Club's Historical Walk in Lille Hareskov on Sunday 25. August 2024.
This walk will be similar to last year's walk in Lille Hareskov.
Lille Hareskov is a forest which is several thousand years old. It has never been cultivated, and therefore it still contains a number of old stones, graves etc.
The walk will take us to see some old dolmen, which are graves dating back to the stone age, some "rillesten" which are stones with a groove cut into them, and also some old oak trees, including The Devil. And we will walk on the "Pig's Back".
I will be your guide and tell you about the old graves and stones etc. And we will show you some tools from the stone age.
The walk will take about 2.5 hours, and it will partly be in rough terrain, so bring sturdy footwear. And please wear clothes suitable for the weather.
The walk will finish at the Skovlyst Brewery, where we can have a beer, or a softdrink. The Southern Cross Club will offer a free beer/drink to all members.
We will meet at the parking lot on the Northern side of the Skovlyst Brewery at 14:00. Please be aware, that there is also another parking lot on the other side of the brewery, at Ravnehusvej.
The Skovlyst Brewery is located at Skovlystvej 2, Hareskovby, 3500 Vaerloese.
For more information about the Skovlyst Brewery, see www.bryggeriskovlyst.dk
If you use public transport: From Skovlyst there is less than 2 km to Hareskov station, and about 0.7 km to the nearest bus stop, bus 165. See Rejseplanen.
We hope to see lots of SCC members on August 25. You are welcome to bring your friends along too.
And we'd like to know in advance if you plan to attend, please send email to committee@southerncrossclub.dk Thanks.

Happy New Year 2024
The Southern Cross Club wishes everybody a Happy New Year!
If you missed the NY fireworks at Sydney Harbour, or if you'd like to see it again, the ABC has it, here:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-31/new-years-eve-celebrations-australia-2023/103275332
It is spectacular, as usual. And this year, more of Sydney Harbour is involved, and not just the Harbour Bridge.
Enjoy! ... with or without champagne ...
Cheers
