Bushwalk

Grant has graciously offered to lead a bushwalk next weekend, a great way for us to experience the beautiful Hawkesbury River!

Here are the details:

Sunday 6th May
Leaving Central Station at 9:45 on the Wyong train, getting off at Hawkesbury River at 10:43
We will walk from there to Cowan station, using a section of the Great Northern Walk.
The walk should take 3-4 hours

Grant warns that the trail's quite hilly, so make sure you wear good shoes and bring plenty of water to drink.

Please let us know if you're coming!

Ein Freund von Mir

Palace Norton Street Leichhardt

Monday 23rd April (that's next Monday)

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Question from a football fan...

Britta wants to know whether German soccer league games are shown on TV here, and if not them, then at least Champions League games?

I know that there's the World Game on Sundays on SBS, and that sometimes Deutsche Welle isn't on (on a Thursday morning I think) because they're showing a football game, but I'm not sure whether whole Bundesliga games are shown...

Can anyone else out there help?

More Photos!

Here are some more photos, this time of better quality, thanks to Ira =)

Don't forget to vote for the German Film Fest movie you most want to see!

Festival of German Films

As you can see in the "What's on" section, the German film festival's coming up soon, and I think it's the perfect event for our first Stammtisch 'excursion'!

In case you didn't notice, we live in a democracy here, so I propose a vote for which film(s) we'd all like to see. Info on each film can be found here. My proposed shortlist is:

• Can-His World Has its Own Rules (Wut)
• Eden
• Four Minutes (Vier Minuten)
• Grave Decisions (Wer Frueher Stirbt, ist Laenger Tot)
• Ping Pong
• A Friend of Mine (Ein Freund von Mir)

Just leave a comment, or send me an email about what you'd prefer!

Also, I'd like you (German) guys to think about what sort of other excursions you'd like us to go on. I've had requests for bushwalking, going to the beach (that'd have to be soon)... what do you think? Can you Sydneysiders out there recommend something?

Can you help?

Have you studied at Konstanz, Tuebingen, Karlsruhe, Regensburg or Goettingen uni? If you have, we need your help!

Yixu Lu, the organiser of the UTS International Studies Germany major, needs you to promote your uni at a briefing session for the UTS students going to Germany next year.

You really don't have to do much; just spend three or so minutes talking about your uni, then answer a few questions from the UTS students.

The briefing session is on Friday night, 6:30pm, at the Markets Campus (CM5D 01.14).

If you're interested, speak to me tomorrow night at Stammtisch, or send me or Yixu an email (Melanie.Speet@student.uts.edu.au or Yixu.Lu@uts.edu.au).

We'd really appreciate your help!
