Estonian Archives treasure
This 1961 book pictures Linda, Kalevipoeg's mother, weeping. Her tears pooled to form Lake Ülemiste (now near Tallinn International airport). This is one of many interpretations of the national epic Kalevipoeg, first published in 1839.
The Estonian Archives in Sydney is a treasure house of Estonian culture and stories of migration. It is one of many cultural groups set up to ensure the survival of Estonian culture in Australia.
