This is it folks - we are definitely on Caloundra countdown and that really came home to me tonight! It was the night the Dragon Walk of History - which will be a central part of our Expo Marquee in Caloundra went on public display. It was a trial run as well as an opportunity for all those who have been behind us every step in the journey - here in the NT whre it all began - to see this first.
I do not have the words to describe the sensation when I walked into that room and looked at the magnificent display. I mean I had seen it asa a work in progress - but the finished product - just amazing! Check out our national blog on http://dragonsabreastaustralia.blogspot.com/ to see what I wrote there - as this is not just about Abreast in Australia - so it has been hard deciding what to post where! We do not plan to release many photos as we want you to experience the same feeling we had this evening.
It has been a long journey and not an easy one to bring the event and this amazing Walk of History together - but everyone has pulled together. Dragons Abreast NT donated $5000 from their recent Golf Day to help us bring this display to everyone. We were pleased to have the representative from TOLL attend tonight - he has seen it first hand and knows what it is that we now need to transport! Port Macquarie and Canberra have already booked in they want this display next - it is sensational and I am positive no one will be disappointed.
I am off again tonight - on the dreadful midnight flight - to Brisbane where Jo (one of our Brisbane committee members) will meet me off the plane at 5 am - which is really nice of her! and then it's a full day of meetings to make more stuff happen for your visit.
Must away now - it is almost 11 p.m - although I do notice when I post these things something weird happens to the times that appear on the page! and I need to get to the airport.
