Subj: Australia, a bit more fair
Date: Sun Sep 24 22:51:31 EDT 2000
Tears flowed as I listened from the kitchen as "Advance, Australia Fair" was played for Cathy Freeman.
Elsa had the volume turned up as high as it would go and the two of us grinned at each other like a couple of idiots, she at the foot of the steps, describing the action, me at the top, hanging onto every word and note.
I imagined how it felt to be in Stadium Australia as the whole place sang the words to the national anthem and I am sure, quite sure, that the entire country sang along with them.
I imagined an entire continent united in song and pride.
What a moment. Go. Aussies!
Love - Nan
