As part of a segment of Channel 9's Random Acts of Kindness, Justyne, Fiona's dance teacher had been nominated and this show was put on sepecially to thank her and introduce her dancers.
So on Monday night, Mark, Lily, Janet, Kaylene, Marion and I went to pick up Evan and A.Cath and drove to the Sutherland Entertainment Centre nice and early as the flyer said doors would open at 6.30pm.
We weren't the only ones...so many others had also arrived early, so we waited upstairs in the dress circle area. Cameras passed us, we waited. Doors opened around 7.30pm, by then it was standing room only upstairs. We managed to get seats towards the front but at the right. Where should we find Fiona positioned, to the left of the stage. Oh well.
Jules Lund came out and introduced the Twinkle Stars performers who did their opening act of "Reach for the Stars".
Hi-5 performed, Star Performers and Twinkle Stars did their thing and a surprise for Justyne..Mark Andrew an Elvis impersonator came out and sang for her as well.

Chinese New Year Twilight Parade
Sunday 21 February 2010
We left Strathfield station around 5pm, getting to Town Hall around 5.20pm. Found a spot outside Event Cinemas and Evan and I parked ourselves. Janet, A. Cath and Kaylene walked to Chinatown to buy some buns, sushi and drinks to sustain us in our wait for the parade which was to start at 7.45pm but didn't get going until well after 8pm. Bindy arrived not long after to join in the wait as did Marion.
Hailing in the YEAR of the Tiger, it was the dragons that dominated this year's Twilight Parade in Sydney for Chinese New Year.
The distinctive yellow dragons of the Tongliang dragon dance troupe, 10 times winners of China's national championships, were a big hit with a crowd estimated by police at more than 100,000 on tonight.
The parade was led off by a robotic 3.5metre metal tiger made from recycled parts.
The usual lit Chinese zodiac floats drifted past as well as dancers and performers. We were relatively at the start of the parade and could see that these performers would be well tired by the time they got to the end. Having stood near the end for the last two years.
After the parade, Bindy caught the train home, Janet and A.Cath walked Marion to her car and got a lift home with her. Kaylene, Evan and I walked to Darling Harbour to catch the fireworks. We got their just in time to walk up to the overpass and watch the fireworks. Not as spectacular as NYE, but never the less, just as good.
Got home around 11pm, where, A.Cath and Evan waited for Ken to finish work and come pick them up. He had been in the office co-ordinating traffic for the event.

Grampians National Park
On Sunday 7 February 2010, Jacq, Richard & Ollie drove to meet us at Ballarat before we headed off to the Grampians and Halls Gap around 10.30am. We had a short stop at Ararat, to change Ollie and feed him, as well buy some pies for lunch. We got to Hall's Gap around 12.30pm and stopped off at the Info Centre to collect some brochures (for scrapbooking).
We then drove to Boroka Lookout and then Reids Lookout. While Richard drives off to go checkout a lake, we do a 1km walk to Balconies Lookout, and Richard catches up to us on our way there. We then head back down to Halls Gap for a BBQ lunch around 2pm of sausages, salad, bread and pies.
After lunch it's back on the road and we stop at a camp ground, where Richard checks out a small creek, also stop at an Aborginal Museum, but not that interesting, so we head on back, taking a very long and straight narrow road which seems to go on forever and ever. We get back to our resort around 6pm.
Janet cooks stir fried noodles with leftover sausages from lunch.
We go to bed just after 12 midnight.

Worldmark Resort, Ballarat
On Saturday 6 February 2010, I go to get my hair cut and coloured before our flight out to Melbourne. We wait for Darren to get home from his trip down south with his friends. He gets back just after 4pm, so hurry, hurry, Lily drives us to the airport and we get there just as they call for last check-ins, lucky Janet has checked us in online and all we need to do is check in our bags. Got through security and headed to the gate which had changed from what was on the boarding pass. Janet and Darren sits in the row ahead with an empty seat in between them while I sit in the window seat behind them.
Arrive in Melbourne around 7.30pm, pick up our luggage and go to the Thrifty counter to pick up a Nissan Tiida, but instead we get a Toyota Corolla Acsent. Boot space is small, just enough to fit our 3 small bags.
We make our way out of the airport and begin our drive to Ballarat. Roads are very straight and there is only one section around Bacchus Marsh which is windy. We get into Ballarat around 9.30pm and stop at the first Coles we see to shop for groceries for tomorrow. Buy Hungry Jacks whoppers for dinner as it's a bit late to be cooking dinner. Get to the resort around 10.30pm where we pick up our envelope with directions on how to get to our unit102, but there is no plan or map. The place is very big and looks like a very old boparding school. Carren walks around looking for a way in, soon Janet joins him while I sit in the car. The do an entire round of the resort before trying the key in the front main door. Get in and walk through the corridors following the directions and finally find our unit. Late dinner and then shower and bed.
