I guess I am a week late, but thought I would share how we spent Australia day anyhow.
<<<<------- We got to see Paul Kelly live in concert for FREE!!!!
It was amazing!!
I saw Paul Kelly in concert for the first time when I was a kid, maybe 10-12 years old. Mum had won tickets through the local paper. He played at the "Gun Turret Ruins" at East Point in Darwin with the Coloured Girls...a haunting venue, perfect for such an icon!
So anyhow, Australia day he played for free at our Entertainment Centre, well kind of free, we were supposed to get tickets out of the local paper apparently, but since I got my information from the council website, which of course didn't mention the paper....we turned up WITHOUT any newspapers and were told we couldn't go. That is until a lovely door security guard offered us two tickets that he had in his hand, and a man standing at the ticket booth that had heard our disappointment, gave us 3 more tickets!! How nice was that!!!!
The concert was absolutely awesome, I just lurve Aussie Rock at the best of times, but to hear Paul Kelly live is just magic! Braithe unfortunately missed it all. God only knows how, but he managed to sleep right through the entire concert! But Keila and Brandon loved it. (Brandon is a groover from waaaay back)!
We topped off the day by venturing down to our local Riverway where we watched Ice Age 2.....again for FREE.....while the kids sat in the pool!!! How incredible is that? They set up the screen right at the end of the big pool, where there is a shallow step created there...(and now we understand why)...So everyone just sits in the pool to watch the movie! We will definitely be keeping our eyes peeled on the council site for when the next movie is due!
We always try to get out and about for Australia Day, but I have to say that this one is the best we have experienced for a while!
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!!!
