January 2010
Happy New Year to all our readers! We hope
you had a lovely holiday season, and that you
got plenty of rest, and some fun times too.
was unbearable. They walked the 8 km to
Brighton Beach for a swim, as nobody had
cars.
For me, the new year, as always, brings
resolutions of living healthy and exercising
more. It is quite amusing to go for my walks
with Ossie the Spoodle in the evenings in early
January, as the paths along the Mordialloc
creek are crowded with like-minded, slightly
“porked-up” people. I know that in a couple of
weeks’ time it will all have slowed down…
Meanwhile, in Norway, they are having
record-low temperatures, and my mum up in
Troms tells me they have just about burnt a
forests’ worth of wood. Contrasts!
As I am writing this, it is 40ºC outside and I
am quite happy for the good air conditioning
we have nowadays. Joan, my partner’s mum,
who is 84, tells me how awful it was when she
was growing up in Carnegie, and there was no
such thing as air conditioning, and “just” 35ºC
We hope that you find something that
appeals to you as we would like to meet as
many of you as possible in 2010. Enjoy.
In this edition of Budstikka we will report
from our activities leading up to Christmas,
as well as inform about all the exciting stuff
we have planned for the new year.

The New Committee, Profile of a Member
Unni Porthill
As a committee member I was asked to put together
a profile on myself, so here it goes: My husband Terje
and I successfully gained a business migration visa
and left Langevåg, on the west coast of Norway,
arriving in Melbourne in November 1982 with two
children, Steven and Kristian. With no job lined up
immediately, and staying with friends for a couple of
months before purchasing our home in Croydon, it
made for interesting times. A few months later,
Johnathan was born. I stayed at home while the
children were young, but when the opportunity came
for Terje and myself to start our own business, I stepped in. We run a business out of our own
premises in Bayswater. We have been involved with FON almost since day 1, at times on committee
level. I enjoy gardening a lot and have quite a collection of palm trees. On the weekends we like to
get away on our yacht Freyja, and have just this summer sailed to Refuge Cove on the east coast
of Wilsons Prom, truly a jewel! One of our three sons lives in Brisbane, married with two children,
and our other two sons live in Shanghai. The photo of me above was taken on a hike across from
the top of Trollstigen to Romsdalen and Trollveggen, where I had a drop view of 1800 meters and
witnessed several base jumps!
Kristian Porthill – The Viking
As proud parents, we would like to say a few words
about our middle son, Kristian Porthill. He was born in
Norway and was only four when we arrived in Australia.
When our oldest son Steven trained for the fitness test
for the army, Kristian started doing weights too. Last
year, he accomplished something that has never been
done before and probably never will be repeated: he was
Mr Australia, Mr International, Mr Southern Hemisphere,
Mr Universe and Mr World. In all events, he won both his
class and the overall title. He is currently based in
Shanghai, where he works as a personal trainer. For more information, check out his web site
www.internationalpersonaltraining.com Somewhere along the way he was tagged “The Viking”,
something he is very proud of.

REPORT FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
The Scandinavian Bazaar, which was held at Toorak House 5-6 December, was another great
success this year. An estimated 7-8000 visitors were subjected to Scandinavian curio, culture and
events over the weekend.
The re-vamped “Friends of Norway” stand proved very popular. We were sponsored by Jarlsberg
(the famous Norwegian cheese), and joined by Helly Hansen. People were keen to try the Jarlsberg
samples or just have a little chat about Norway. Demand for raffle tickets was strong, with the
lucky winner, Shirley Møller, (ticket-holder orange B25) struggling home with her prize: an entire
round of Jarlsberg cheese.
Interest in membership of the “Friends of Norway” club resulted in 14 new members signing up on
the day. Well done to all involved. We look forward to an even bigger success in 2010.

REPORT FROM THE JULETREFEST
The juletrefest was held at Toorak House on Sunday 13 December, following the Norwegian
Christmas church service in the Swedish Church.
The priest at the Norwegian Seamens Church, Åse Lindberg, came down from Sydney, bringing her
husband with her, which was very fortunate, as he had to step in for Santa/Julenissen, who had
been hit with the flu.
After a lovely service, where Norwegian Christmas songs were sung, the Scandinavian Choir
performed, and the children in the congregation were invited up to the altar to help the priest place
all the principal characters in the Christmas crib, the festivities got started. An impressive amount of
food was brought in, with a very distinct Norwegian flair over several of the goodies. The weather
was kind, and people were able to take their coffee cups and food into the garden.
Jan the guitarist then accompanied parents and children as they walked around the tree, and sang
all the traditional songs: “Og reven rasker over isen”, “Så går vi rundt om en enebærbusk”, “Jeg
gikk meg over sjø og land” and many more. The attendance was formidable, enough to form three
entire circles around the Christmas tree.
Suddenly it was announced that Julenissen had arrived, and all the children’s eyes grew very big!
They all circled around as Santa presented them with presents and lolliebags.
Everyone present, young and old, contributed to making this a very successful event, and we would
like to thank you all.

NORWEGIAN MOVIE NIGHT FOR FASTELAVN?
Join us for a night at the movies Sunday 14 February at 7pm
We are trying hard to secure one of the latest Norwegian movie releases, and one you have not
seen already. Who knows, it may even be a pre-premiere couriered straight from Oslo. Please
check our website www.friendsofnorway.asn.au closer to the date for details.
The movie night will be held at the Peregrine Adventures film room, located on level 3,
380 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne CBD. We are charging $10 for the movie, and will be serving
beverages and some snacks.
Please RSVP by 7 February on [email protected] with ‘Movie night’ in the subject field,
or call 0431 123 800.
Please be aware that the film might be rated M, so this event is not suitable for children.
Sunday 14 February is also Fastelavn, which is the name for a special day of 'carnival' in the Nordic
countries.
Fastelavn evolved from the Roman Catholic tradition of celebrating in the days before Lent, but
after the Nordic countries became Protestant, the holiday became less specifically religious. This
holiday occurs seven weeks before Easter Sunday and is sometimes described as a Nordic
Halloween, with children dressing up in costumes and gathering treats for the Fastelavn feast. The
holiday is generally considered to be a time for children's fun and family games. Most Norwegians
are probably familiar with the Fastelavnsris, branches decorated with feathers, with which children
would flog their parents to wake them up on Easter Sunday!! Norwegians also eat
fastelavnsboller/buns.

SAIL “THE ENTERPRIZE”, MELBOURNE’S TALLSHIP!
Sunday 14 March, 2010
The topsail schooner Enterprize is a replica of
the ship that brought the first settlers to
Melbourne in 1835. She was built so that a
significant part of Melbourne’s history would
be preserved and accessible to the people of
Victoria. The ship with its volunteer crew
offers public sails throughout the year around
Port Phillip Bay and ports around the southeastern coast of Australia.
The Enterprize is the first square-rigged commercial
sailing ship built in Melbourne for over 120 years.
The Enterprize gives people of all ages the
opportunity to experience life on board a
nineteenth- century sailing ship.
As a passenger, you can sit back and relax or you can join in and help hauling the sails or steering
the ship. You can even climb the rigging if the weather and the captain permit it!
Friends of Norway is planning a sailing experience on The Enterprize Sunday 14 March,
during The Williamstown Festival. We meet at Gem Pier in Williamstown at noon and
the ship takes us out for a one-hour sail from 12.30-1.30pm.
How much does it cost:
Adults $20, Concession $15, Children $10
Book your tickets with Adelheid MacKenzie by 14 February. Pay on the day.

In Memoriam
Humble man of action and adventure
KNUT MAGNE HAUGLAND
COMMANDO, EXPLORER
23-9-1917 - 25-12-2009
(The Age, December 31, 2009)
KNUT Haugland, a fearless Norwegian who took part in two of
the most adventurous and celebrated exploits of the past century
- a daring raid on a suspected Nazi atomic weapons plant in
World War II, and Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition in peace
- has died in Oslo. He was 92.
Haugland, the last survivor of the six-man Kon-Tiki crew, had met
Heyerdahl in 1944 at a special forces training camp in England.
He was selected to join the expedition because of his wartime
experience as a radio operator. In typically nonchalant fashion,
Heyerdahl had written to Haugland, whom he thought was bound to be ''fed up hanging around at
home by now, and would be glad to go for a little trip on a wooden raft'', to invite him on the
expedition.
''Am going to cross the Pacific on a wooden raft to support a theory that the South Sea islands were
peopled from Peru,'' the invitation ran. ''Will you come? Reply at once.'' The response was positive.
The crew set off from Callao, Peru, on
April 28, 1947 and sailed westwards. Their
vessel, built using only the materials and
technologies available in the preColumbian period, was the Kon-Tiki - a
raft composed of nine balsa tree trunks,
each 13.5 metres long by 60 centimetres
in diameter, lashed together with hemp
ropes.
The explorers lived off water stored in
bamboo tubes, coconuts, sweet potatoes,
bottle gourds and fruit, as well as the fish,
dolphins and sharks they caught. After
sighting islands in French Polynesia, the raft struck a reef on August 7 and was beached on an
uninhabited islet off Raroia in the Tuamotu group. Kon-Tiki had travelled about 6970 kilometres in
101 days at an average speed of 1.5 knots.
In his best-selling book about the voyage, The Kon-Tiki Expedition, Heyerdahl recalled the radio
slowly drying out after being soaked in the shipwreck, and Haugland using the hand-cranked
emergency transmitter to send out an ''all well'' message to head off a search.
12
Kon-Tiki's conquest of the vast, lonely Pacific Ocean rekindled the spirit of adventure in the dismal
days after the war, and in the later Oscar-winning film, Haugland played himself.
He was involved in two of the expedition's most dramatic incidents. He was enjoying a leisurely
swim near the raft when a crewmate quietly warned him of ''a shadow bigger than himself coming
up behind him''. A race then ensued between man and shark, which ended with Haugland lurching
on board just as the beast passed ''beneath his stomach''.
Later, Haugland leapt into the sea bearing a lifebelt attached to a long rope to save another
crewman, Herman Watziner, who had fallen into the water and was in danger of being swept away
from the unpowered raft. ''We had a lot of nice things to say to Knut that day, Herman and the rest
of us, too,'' wrote Heyerdahl.
Born at Rjukan in the Norwegian province of Telemark, Haugland qualified as a military radio
operator, and in 1940 saw action against the Germans near Narvik. After the Germans had overrun
his country, he worked at Hovding Radiofabrik in Oslo, where he started covert work in the
resistance movement. In August 1941, he was briefly arrested by Quislings, but escaped and fled
via Sweden to England.
He joined the Norwegian Independent Company that was formed to carry out commando raids in
occupied Norway, and it became one of the most decorated military forces during the war. He was
selected by the Special Operations Executive to train with three others for Operation Grouse, the
raid on a hydroelectric power station near his home town, where the Allies suspected that heavy
water, a key component in the atomic weapons process, was being produced to build a Nazi atom
bomb.
Haugland parachuted with three others onto the Hardangervidda plateau on October 18, 1942. But
a planned rendezvous with British engineers never materialised after the Britons' gliders crashed
and the survivors were tortured and executed.
As a result the Germans were alerted to Allied interest in heavy water production, but Haugland
was ordered to wait on Hardangervidda, where his team subsisted on moss and lichen and, just in
time for Christmas, a wandering reindeer. In sub-zero temperatures he kept in contact with the
British using a radio for which he improvised spares using a stolen fishing rod and an old car
battery. Every night at 1am he would make contact, often unable to control the chattering of his
teeth, using the password ''three pink elephants''.
It was February 1943 before Operation Gunnerside was mounted. Six more Norwegian commandos
were dropped by parachute, and after a few days' search, met up with Haugland for a new assault
on the hydroelectric plant.
The heavily defended plant was surrounded by mines and floodlights and accessible only across a
single-span bridge over a deep ravine.
The Norwegians climbed down the ravine, waded an icy river and climbed a steep hill where they
followed a narrow-gauge railway and entered the plant by a cable tunnel and through a window. In
the ensuing sabotage, hundreds of kilograms of heavy water was destroyed. About 3000 German
soldiers searched for the saboteurs, but all escaped.
The Nazi heavy water project never recovered.
13
Haugland hid on Hardangervidda for two months before going to Oslo to train radio operators for
the Norwegian resistance. Despite being known to the Gestapo, he twice used the clandestine sea
crossing known as ''the Shetland bus'' to reach Scotland.
In autumn 1943 he visited London for supplies and training in new codes and returned to Norway
by parachute. In November 1943 he was arrested, only to escape, and his luck and courage held
firm again the following year, when, on April 1, one of his transmitters, hidden inside a chimney at
the Oslo Maternity Hospital, was located by direction-finding techniques.
''The whole building was surrounded by German soldiers with machine-gun posts in front of every
single door,'' Heyerdahl wrote later. ''The head of the Gestapo was standing in the courtyard
waiting for Knut to be carried down. (But) Knut fought his way with his pistol down from the attic to
the cellar, and from there out into the backyard, where he disappeared over the hospital wall with a
hail of bullets after him.''
On the run, Haugland again escaped to Britain. This time he did not return until war's end.
Haugland was twice awarded Norway's highest decoration, the War Cross with Sword (the
equivalent of two Victoria Crosses), the British Distinguished Service Order and Military Medal, the
French Croix de Guerre and Legion d'Honneur, and, postwar, the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav.
After the Kon-Tiki expedition Haugland returned to the military. Later, he was director of the
Norwegian Resistance Museum from 1963 to 1983, and director of the Kon-Tiki Museum from 1947
to 1990. He was unhappy with the depiction of his wartime exploits in Anthony Mann's highly
fictionalised 1965 film, The Heroes of Telemark, which starred Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris, and
in 2003 he made a BBC documentary with Ray Mears, The Real Heroes of Telemark.
He refused to call himself a hero, saying: ''I never use that word about myself or my friends. We
just did a job.'' He preferred to remember those who died on the missions that he survived.
Haugland married Ingeborg Prestholdt in 1951, who survives him with three children.

FROM DRAMMEN, NORWAY
As a young man, during World War II, Odd escaped from a concentration camp in Narvik, northern
Norway. Later on, after emigrating to Australia, he worked in many different fields, including as a
painter. He painted the Swedish Church/Toorak House, and the priest's apartment there, together
with Barleif Hårstad and Einar Berntsen. Odd travelled back to Norway several times. He was a
friendly, outgoing person who will be sadly missed.
Our condolences to his three children and the rest of his family.
