Sydney Christmas Parade
Let us be the first ones to wish everyone a Happy Christmas! Last weekend we went to the first annual Sydney Christmas Parade. It has been three years in the making according to the website, but was in reality barely better than the Picnic Day Parade in Davis. Here are some of the highlights from the parade. There are some interesting "floats" that are Australian for sure. One of our favorites was the heart with legs and the bee on the float. Although just like the UCD parade there were Double-Deck buses in this parade as well, but this parade also had multiple kilt wearing bands. There were many more memorable entries, the bouncing kangaroos, the Australian space shuttle?, the platypus, and the square covered wagon. I don't know if anyone noticed, but the lion is wearing a purple Kings uniform just like Slamson in Sac. Apparently we moved from one Kings basketball town to another.
Here in OZ every parade must have a beer sponsored vehicle in it, and Miss Australia walks alone, no float for her. At least Santa was wearing red, yelling Ho Ho Ho, and riding in a sleigh.
