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

June 2008 Musings

Reprinted from 'Monaro Musings' the magazine of the Monaro Folk Society

From The Bush Dancers display group

The Sixth Birthday Cake. Click for the big picture.The Bush Dancers display group have been having a top time in the last month or so, with performances, bush dancing on Norfolk Island, a Gala Ball at the Albert Hall, and get-togethers leading up to the above events.

Working with trip co-ordinator Lyn McGregor, musician co-ordinator David Johnson, the Norfolk Island Social Ballroom dance committee, and many other helpers, we organised the Wonderful Week of Bush Dancing on Norfolk Island. And what a wonderful week it was. After a huge week of workshops and dance the cries from the sixty or so dancers, musicians and callers were not for "mercy" but for "more!", and "where are we going next?" ... full story
