    ❤❤ I was one of the 56 000 Volunteers at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, an experience that will live with me the rest of my life, The city of Sydney came alive for the 16 days in September, The Best Opening Ceremony to date even after watching the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony was a very big disappointment to see..it doesn't have anything on Sydney's Opening and Closing Ceremony's, Kylie Minogue, Midnight Oil, Slim Dusty to name a few to close the Greatest Time Sydney and the World has Experienced..
    Well Done Sydney and our Volunteers and the Australian Olympic Committee ...
    The Opening was a Truly magical experience especially when the Horses came out carrying the Olympic rings Flags then Hearing Human Nature and Julie Anthony sing Advance Australia Fair and then see the horses carry the Australian Flags out of the Stadium, itstill gives me chills everytime i see and hear it❤❤

    In my opinion, the Sydney 2000 closing ceremony was one of the most spectacular if not the best ever. I think the only one that rivals it is London 2012. The festive atmosphere, multicolored, its quasi-impromptu character, the athletes as the epicenter of the big party, the ability that Australians have to laugh at themselves, the multicolored tour to each of the elements that are the pride of the country, makes it unique and unrepeatable. It is not a solemn event, it is a party by and for athletes. 🎊🎉🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games have provided many great and wonderful memories that will stay with us forever for rest of our lives. We’ll continue to cherish and talk about The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games for many years and generations to come in the future. And the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games is still the best and the greatest Olympic Games ever staged in History.

Knowing what I now know about Australia, its society, its culture and its history, it is a country I am proud to call home. And like every home, you want to make it the best it can be for all. I now understand the point of having Midnight Oil and Yothu Yindi look John Howard in the eye on the biggest stage of all and state their terms. I did not understand the message then; I do now. As immigrants, we must not fail Australia. Respect and a fair go for all. Pay the rent, pay our share, treaty now.

    If you know the history of Australia and the lyrics behind beds are burning by Midnight Oil… the ‘sorry’ printed on all their clothes was so symbolic. That for me is the greatest part of this whole ceremony. Truly talking about result of european settlers had on the Aboriginals and an all white aussie band not only owning it, but saying sorry in a legendary aussie rock n roll way. Seriously understated. Huge. Fantastic.

I can't imagine the current government would sanction a performance of Treaty and Beds are Burning at this, the biggest stage, bringing Australia's shame to the world. If only all those people from all those countries knew what they were dancing to, knew what those lyrics meant. I was 12 and born outside of Australia; I certainly didn't know. I dearly wish I did.
