Paralympics Opening Ceremony

Twenty years ago tonight Mum and I went to the Sydney 2000 Paralympics Opening Ceremony.  Nowhere near as spectacular as the regular Olympics Opening Ceremony.  (I'd tried to get tickets for that one, but it was a ballot.  And it was $1300 for the worst nosebleed seats, so part of me was glad we didn't win them.  Lizzi was a volunteer and her assignment was the Olympic Stadium, so she got to see most of it for free.  Le sigh.)

So this was a pretty simple affair, but it was fun cheering the Aussies, and there were a bunch of acts including Vanessa Amarossi and Kylie Minogue.
