2. YouTube: The Sydney 2000 Presentation At Atlanta 1996

By the way, for the second link, I need some proper information to correct my description about it. Thanks.

What more did you want? I think the segment is self-explanatory. What do u want to say? Flowers? Birds? Aborigines? Lifeguards? Profile of the Sydney Opera House?

Well, how about: ... staged and produced by Ric Birch, who handled similar chores at Los Angeles 1984 and Barcelona 1992, and would go on to helm the massive Ceremonies in Sydney 4 years later... How's that?

Pretty much aye. not alot more to add.
Stephen Page choreographed it, David Page composed the music with Christine Anu providing some of the female vocalists.
Basic concept, it was entitled *A Day in the Life of Sydney*.
Showing the Spirit people, School girls from Hanging Rock dancing with their totems - the wildflowers. bla bla bla.

It kind of horrifies that in the next few years we may have our first poster who wasn't even alive during the Sydney Games...

Wow that nine years has gone bloody fast.

I remember it being great to watch in New Zealand because of the time difference so all the finals were in prime time in New Zealand. It was just a shame that we only won 4 medals

Haha, I remember that day well. I know the games were in Sydney but had no idea they were going to be in September so July and August roles around and no Olympics. Finally I get the CBC broadcast brochure and it says September 15th at 6am. I remember getting up and watching the Opening Ceremonies and being so excited. It was just amazing and Sydney will always be my first Opening to Closing Olympics.

Ironically I started waking up at 6am for the next 6 years.

Sydney was the perfect place to host the 2000 Olympics. There was a certain excitement about the year 2000. And Sydney was a youthful and energetic city. Sure, the decade went to sh!t after that, but for those 17 days, wasn't it all grand and exciting?
