There is also a 2 minute YouTube video. If you have keen eyes you can see the queen, but mainly it just gives a bit of a feeling of the occasion.

Government House

Click for 15 pictures (Broadband) The Bush Dancers display group performing on Sunday 25 September 2011, at Government House in Yarralumla on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. It was a blustery day so we moved from the lawns up on to a sheltered porch. A great line-up of musicians from the Bush Capital Band and the Wedderburn Charming Emus

There is also a 4 minute 59sec YouTube video, taken with a tiny camera that can also take video. A bumpy ride but gives the feeling of a great day. At the very end there is a snippet of the party after the performance at Government House. Too cold for the deck so we are all dancing around the fire in the downstairs family room at Aranda. Bush dancing, Irish Set Dancing, Contra Dancing (in the snippet taken from the end of the set and during one turn out when you reach the end), and old-time couples dances. A crowded party is a good party! http://youtu.be/mkNIur9FeKI
