John and I watched the Clydesdales for a long time!
And then, it got darker and it was time for a different type of horse show in the arena…
They did cattle rustling…
And then there was a most patriotic display, lots of singing and shouting AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
It’s a very catchy tune 🙂
And then the place went black, and the horses and riders lit up!
What a fantastic night I will never forget. I absolutely LOVED it.
