Telstra Stadium in background

The Sydney show is traditionally held on Australia Day (January 26th) which meant that there were lots of Australian flags draped around people, flags stamped on faces, and all the other patriotic clothing/face painting that we don’t do/aren’t allowed to do in England on St George’s Day. The sad fact is that I reckon nearly every Australian will know the date of Australia Day, whereas how many English know the date of St George’s Day?! It was great to see all the Australians really being proud of their nationality and it enhanced the festival spirit even more.
