Our Big Band was invited to play at the opening of the River Heart Parklands, which is the redevelopment of the bank of the Bremer River. It was fantastic to be invited because we were the only entertainment playing for a host of VIPs including the local councillors and the Minister for my Department, Andrew Fraser. When I got there I was really surprised at how lovely it is - the boardwalks and the plants they've put in are gorgeous and the gigantic water feature is great too.
As it was an invite only event, we had canapes and free drinks and then enjoyed speech from a talking tree (just ask me) and a fireworks display... the only problem was that the sparks from the fireworks fell on the riverbank and lit it on fire! I think they'll have to work on that before New Year's eve!!!
