News from Lusatia - 2

Our treasurer, Clay Kruger, has received the following interesting email from Alfons Frencl in Bautzen:

Dear Clay,
By the way: The Sorbian Grammar School in Bautzen organized a school project about Australia. They visited Herrnhut (Moravian Brethren). At the Museum of Ethnology there they learned about the Aborigines. Alfons Frencl gave a special power point presentation about Wendish ways to Australia and he introduced some Australian people of Wendish background as well as the areas where most of the Wends settled (Tarrington/Hochkirch, Melbourne/Westgarthtown, Walla Walla/NSW and Barossa Valley. The students were highly surprised about these historical links between Lusatia and parts of Australia, as it is reported in Sorbian newsletter Serbske Nowiny (15 July 2010). Maybe it is interesting for the Archive of your Wendish Heritage Society.
Best regards to all from Lusatia
Alfons Frencl
