President’s Message
Dear Members and Friends of the SSQ,
www.swiss.org.au/ssq
Issue No. 4/2012
On-line version:
http://swiss.org.au/

DEADLINE
For submissions for
issue 6/2012:
5 November 2012
THE MISSION OF THE
SWISS SOCIETY
Preserve and promote
the Swiss heritage
and goodwill
between Australia
and Switzerland
through social and
cultural activities.
We are already in the second half of
the year – time really flies when you are
having fun.
The National Day celebrations at Petrie
was once again a great success. To all
the helpers who lent a hand to achieve it,
many thanks! We were entertained by the Swiss Jodel choir, the
German children’s dance group and the Danish dancers; they
made it a truly multicultural event with a distinctive Swiss touch.
We heard speeches from Switzerland (on tape) and Markus
Meli, Swiss Consul General from Sydney (in person) and Daniel
Gschwind, Honorary Consul for Qld. The bonfire and lantern
procession rounded up a typical Swiss National Day.
The last film night on 26 August was not so successful, as we
couldn’t find the projector on the night (nobody had seen it after
the 1 August celebration in Petrie). We had to show the movie
on a TV set in the small room, not the most convenient way. The
film though was funny and we will gladly show it again next year
if you wish. Fortunately the projector and DVD player have been
located in the meantime.
Our AGM will be held on 13 October. I will stand for president
again for 2013 but hope someone will volunteer to replace me
the year after.
On 27 October we will have our dinner dance at the Danish
Club. I hope to see many members attend this fun evening.
Next year Queensland will host the Australian Jass
Championship 2013. We are now looking for sponsors for this
event. Please contact me or Rita von Rotz if you can help.
DISCLAIMER
Letters published in
this magazine do not
necessarily reflect the
opinions of the
committees.
We “jass” every second Thursday. We now have a beginner’s
and a French card table if there are enough people. Please join
us, it’s always fun! The choir is practicing on the same night.
They are always looking for new members. Both events happen
at the Danish Club, 36 Austin Street, Newstead, why not come
along and check it out.
Finally, Spring is here. Enjoy!

Dear Members, Supporters and Fellow Swiss,
I hope everyone has survived the winter in
good health. Spring is definitely here with
blue skies and the temperature is slowly
climbing.
It has been pretty quiet for the SCCS
Committee and that is a good sign that all is
well with most of our members.
The Swiss Club has their AGM on
13 October and a Dinner Dance on the
27 October and the Swiss Community Care
Society is having their AGM and Christmas
Lunch on the 1 December.
We will again have the pleasure of
experiencing Jacob Berner’s excellent cuisine
and of course those divine desserts. Please
make sure you reserve the 1 December in
your diary, we love to see you all. We will
start with the AGM at 11am. You can read
more details in the next Swiss News and all
members will also get our Newsletter.
Enjoy the sunshine and be happy - Lorly
PS: Have laugh at getting old
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old lady:
“And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?” She simply replied,
“No peer pressure.”
Everyone enjoyed the SCCS lunch in Buderim,
held in June 2012. Why not come and join us
next year and perhaps meet some old friends
and get to know some new ones?

Dear Friends of the Choir,
The busy time of the year where we have
most of our performances is almost over. We
enjoyed the 1 August and the Metzgete, now
just a couple more performances and then we
are done for the year.
That does not mean we won’t be busy.
Paperwork needs to be done to be ready for
our AGM, which we will hold after the SSQ
on Saturday, 13 October 2012 along with the
Swiss Club AGM.
Now is also the time where we can rehearse
new songs and work on new ideas for our
music pieces. This means that this would be
the perfect time to join us, learn the songs
for next year and be ready to perform with
us from around March 2013. We are always
looking for new members and meet at the
Danish Club every second Thursday, same
days as the Jassers, at 7.30pm. Exceptions
are Swiss Film nights at the Club.
Elsy Schuetz, our long serving secretary and
loyal member, who for health reasons had
to leave the choir, will be 80 years old on
Saturday 15 September. We hope you join
us in wishing her a happy birthday and good
health.
Kind regards,
President
The Choir performed again at the 1 August Celebration at Petrie.
Come for a Bushwalk with us!
The Cougals
Mount Mee State Forest
Sunday, 14 October 2012
The twin summit of the Cougals lies on the
eastern escarpment of the Springbrook plateau
in the Gold Coast hinterland and will make
an enjoyable “Wanderung” for this Sunday’s
outing, see picture above… or is it? The first
to tell us the correct location of this picture
will be elevated to master spotter! The walk
itself, through grassy plateaus and rainforests,
presents medium difficulty. We estimate the
whole trip, including lunch, taking less than six
hours. We will be ascending the mountains from
the Tomewin Border gate.
Mount Mee is about 60km north-west of
Brisbane. From Brisbane, travel through Samford
and Dayboro then follow Mount Mee and Sellin
roads to the forest. Our track for the day would
be the Somerset trail, including Mt Byron.
Beginning opposite the Gantry, this track passes
through scribbly gum forests, rainforest and dry
open forest. About halfway along, we can enjoy
the views to the west, overlooking Somerset
dam. Our side trip to Mt Byron will take us to
a quaint lunch spot on top of the cliffs over
‘Dianas-Bath’ and the western hills towards
Esk, see picture above… or is it? The first to
tell us the correct location of this picture will be
nominated grand master spotter! This should
be a pleasant outing and enjoyable walk for all
intermediate level hikers.
To get there take the Pacific Highway to
Currumbin Waters. Use the Currumbin valley exit
No. 95-Stewart Road towards Currumbin/Tugun)
then turn left onto Currumbin Creek Rd/State
Route 98. Follow this for ~ 2 Km to the next light,
where you turn left into Bienvenue Drive and
meet us at the ‘Currumbin Fair’ Shopping Centre
Car park, some 150m up this road.

Jets sign Swiss
defender
Gary van Egmond has moved to strengthen
the Newcastle Jets defence, signing Swiss
defender Dominik Ritter to a one-year
contract.
Ritter has been playing for FC Winterthur
since 2009/10. Prior to this, the 23-year-old
came through the system at FC Basel, where
he played in their Under 21s team and then
also for the first team squad.
“Dominik can play as fullback, which is his
preferred position, or a left side stopper,”
coach Gary van Egmond explains.
“He has a lot of pace, he will suit our style of
play and we will have good competition for
spots in the backs. “He is at a good age to be
coming here, he has his best years ahead of
him and we look forward to welcoming him to
Newcastle and having him at the Jets.”
"I am looking forward to arriving in Newcastle
and settling in at the Jets,” Ritter said.
"It will be a great challenge to come and play
for the Newcastle Jets in the A-League and I
can't wait."
With Ritter’s signing, the Jets are getting
closer to completing their squad for season
2012/13.
“Any positions we sign from here will be in the
front-third,” van Egmond added.
There was no reply or anyone guessing the
correct location of the picture (above) on the
August bushwalk write-up in the last Swiss
News.
The picture showed the “Totensee” on top of
the Grimsel pass, looking towards the Furka.
It didn’t have anything to do with Mermaid
Mountain or Lake Manchester!

Both mum and bub are doing really well,
although little Lukas was very eager
to arrive in this world almost 2 months
before the official due date!
He weighed 1.6kgs and was 42cm long
at birth. He has now almost doubled his
birth weight and is a healthy little cherub
who is bringing lots of joy to his parents.

Treffen im 2012
Die Treffen ab 24 Januar werden wieder wie zu alten Zeiten auf jeden zweiten Dienstag
fallen. Dieser Tag scheint der Mehrheit zu passen. Es tut mir leid fuer alle diejenigen, die
dann nicht mehr kommen koennen. Als kleines Troesterli moechte ich noch anfuegen, dass
haeufigere Nachtessen oder andere Abendtreffen gewuenscht werden. Versuchen wir doch
mal das zu organisieren. So koennen wir Mamis/Papis uns wenigstens dann noch ab und
zu sehen.
Bei schlechtem oder zweifelhaftem Wetter meldet euch bitte am Dienstag morgen bei
Kathrin fuer die Schlechtwetteroption. Wir werden uns dann sehr wahrscheinlich in der
State Library im Kid’s Corner oder bei jemandem zu Hause treffen. Es waere gut, wenn
wir jeweils wissen, wer am Treffen teilnimmt, damit alle ueber allfaellige kurzfristige
Aenderungen informiert werden koennen.
Wir treffen uns jeweils ab 9.30 Uhr.
Die Spielgruppe hat jetzt auch einen blog, um alle auf dem laufenden zu halten.

Swiss-Australian Athlete Success
at World Junior Championship in Spain
Freiämter ist die australische Hoffnung
Wohlen/Brisbane Doppelbürger Cédric Dubler startete als australischer Zehnkämpfer an der WM
VON JÖRG BAUMANN
Abseits der Olympischen Sommerspiele in London sorgt doch noch ein
Wohler Sportler für Schlagzeilen: der
17-jährige Zehnkämpfer Cédric Dubler aus Brisbane (Australien). Dubler, dessen Vorfahren in Wohlen
Strohfabrikanten waren, nahm an
den U20-Weltmeisterschaften in Barcelona teil und verpasste nur knapp
eine Medaille. Er erreichte aber den
guten vierten Platz – und das gegen
Konkurrenten, die zwei Jahre älter
sind als er.
Hoch motivierter Sportler
Über den grossen Erfolg freut sich
besonders Cédrics Vater Gabriel Dubler – gerade auf Heimaturlaub in
der Schweiz. «Cédric ist ein hoch motivierter Sportler. Wenn er so weiterfährt, hat er eine grosse Zukunft vor
sich.» Cédric Dubler ist australischschweizerischer Doppelbürger und
besitzt das Wohler Bürgerrecht. Seine Eltern Gabriel und Geneviève Dubler wanderten 1990 von Crissier bei
Lausanne nach Brisbane in Australien aus. In der Schweiz war Gabriel Cédric Dubler gehört mit 17 Jahren bereits zur Elite der Zehnkämpfer.

während seiner Schweizer Zeit im

Die Dublers stammen aus einer alten Wohler Strohfabrikantendynastie,
die bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurückreicht. Leo Dubler, Cédrics Urgrossonkel, blieb im elterlichen Geschäft, anders als sein Bruder Herbert Dubler.

had a group of 25 supporters at the Olympic
Stadium of Barcelona. They were from
Australia, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain,
including Cedric’s family and Coach Eric.

The Swiss Society of Qld congratulates
Cedric for this great achievement.
Eglisau
(refer also to cover photo)
Eglisau is first mentioned in 892
as several independent farm
houses known as Ouwa. In 1238
it was mentioned as Owe, in 1304
as ze Seglinger Owe, in 1332 as
ze Eglins Owe and in 1352 as ze
Eglisowe. It’s believed that an
Alemanne named Segilo settled
with his tribe in this area. The
“Owe” or “Au” means “area at the
water”.
Eglisau is located at the crossing
of two major transport routes. The
location along both sides of the
Rhine river in Switzerland allowed
it to dominate locate ship traffic.
It was also the site of a bridge
which made the north-south road
between the Klettgau and the
Zürichgau.
This important location made it
the home of the Zürich appointed
Landvogt and led to it becoming a
market town.

Remember the feeling of sand
between your toes?
Remember the sound of the rolling surf
as you wake to another perfect day?
Remember the rich, earthy scent
of rainforest walks?
There are few places on earth that can offer a balance of earth and sea,
creature comforts and natural bushland.
Rainbow Shores is one of them
This unique eco resort nestles gently between
the magnificent Rainbow Beach and the
Great Sandy National Park, celebrating the
beauty of a pristine, natural environment.
Its absolute beach frontage guarantees complete relaxation and peace of mind. Careful
planning and construction have created a
living environment that works in harmony
with the existing eco-system and beachscape.
As you immerse yourself in this natural wonderland you could be forgiven for thinking you
are a million miles away from anywhere.
The reality is that that this very special retreat
is just a two and a half hour drive north from
Brisbane.
