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.
