The spelling of a lot of these place names seems to be German. In Danish: Fredriksborg Slot

Actually it's now "Frederiksborg Slot, Hillerød, Denmark", but when the picture was taken, the spelling in this picture could very well have been correct. I live just 1500 meters from here, and my grandfather used to work as a gardener in the park around the castle. He lived in a little house just outside the frame of this picture. Frederiksborg Castle isn't situated in Copenhagen, but in Hillerød, approximately 35 km from the center of Copenhagen. It is now a museum where you can see a large collection of historic paintings.

I was at Fredericksborg some years ago, and I found the museum very interesting. With each room, you advanced about 10 years in Danish history. Of course you are correct, Jesper. It is Hillerød, not Copenhagen. I have a later view of this photo. It will have to wait a few days, until I post the set on Flickr.

Thanks for the correct location! We'll update the title and subject fields in the source data and reload the description.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historical Gardens, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

"DEATH OF THE REV. DR. ROWE. A NOTABLE CAREER. A host of personal friends and Methodists throughout Australia will learn with deep regret that the Rev. Dr. George E. Rowe, superintendent minister of the Albert-street Methodist Church, died suddenly on October 27. Dr. Rowe had been attending the Methodist Synod at Nundah, and subsequently made a call on a sick parishioner. After leaving the home of this resident he complained of being very unwell, and was conveyed by a friend back to the parishioner's residence, where he died shortly afterward. The late Rev. Dr. Rowe, who was 68 years of age, was born in Scorrier, Cornwall, on August 26, 1858, to humble parents. He received his early training at one of the English Wesleyan Colleges and came out to Australia as a very young man. His first appointment was to South Australia in 1881, and after spending several years leading South Australian circuits he was transferred to Western Australia at the time that the gold rush occurred in that State. He was appointed to the Perth circuit, where he spent 13 years, and where he built a fine church and a splendid block of buildings that stand today as a monument to his organizing ability. It was while he was engaged in the Western State that he inaugurated the Sisters of the People, and during the epidemic of typhoid that spread throughout the country, he sent Sisters to every part of the State to nurse the people. He was elected the first President of the West Australian Methodist Conference in 1900. His mission work in Western Australia was very successful, and in 1905 he received an invitation to become superintendent of the Central Methodist Mission, Albert-street, Brisbane. His work in that church is well known throughout Queensland, and its progress was steadily maintained during the 20½ years that he ministered there. His love for his church was deep-rooted and true. One of his ambitions was to see it clear of debt, and he lived to see that accomplished last Sunday when the 79th anniversary of the church was celebrated." - from the Queenslander 06 Nov 1926 (nla.gov.au) Source: vwma.org.au/explore/people/310401

Springsure is a pleasant rural service centre nestled below the Capricorn Highlands with the local landmark Mount Zamia, of which Virgin Rock is the most prominent feature, looming above the town. The area around Springsure is characterised by a rich black clay soil which, in recent times, due to extensive irrigation, has produced a range of crops including sunflowers, sorghum, wheat and chickpeas. The area is also known for its cattle. Source: www.aussietowns.com.au/town/springsure-qld
