  Queensland Latvians started to gather together in 1949 in church services. The first church service for Latvians was held on November 24, 1949, in the German language by Minister Ramer. 54 Latvians attended the church service. On January 14, 1950, mixed choir was founded under the leadership of E.Kalums. In 1950 E.Kalums founded Brisbane Latvians’ choir and men double quartet. On January 28 and March 18, 1950 Latvian meetings were organised, where the participants decided to call the Brisbane Latvian Association’s foundation meeting. The association established a mixed choir „Beverīna”, a library, arranged Latvians’ House. In 1950 the BLA theatre group started its work. In 1954 the theatre group was taken over by Daugavas Vanagi (Daugava Hawks). In October of 1951, the BLA founded the folk dance group “Senatne” (Olden Times) with 14 participants. Its leader was Gaida Stendere and pianist Maksimilians Sprīvulis. The number of dancers rapidly grew. “Senatne” participated in many events in Brisbane and the whole of Australia. With reducing in the number of participants “Senatne” ended its existence in 2000. Source: www.rlb.lv/latvian-organizations-and-schools-abroad/brisb...

  Prior to the arrival of missionaries in the Pacific Islands, the dress was an important expression of social status, political standing, and religious belief. Body art and clothing were key elements that helped people to socially locate themselves and others. The body was the main focus of the material expression. The body was tattooed, painted, and decorated with natural materials, dyes, and paints Source: fashion-history.lovetoknow.com/clothing-around-world/sout...

Unidentified Scotsman of the Caledonian Society at Warwick

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Warwick Caledonian Society is the oldest society of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and given that Warwick was established as a town in 1847, a 150-year milestone is a great achievement. Our band spent Saturday wowing crowds who had gathered from near and far to celebrate the Scottish culture. Source: scotspgc.newzletter.com.au/newsletters/scots-pgc-college-...
