It’s The Final Count Down (Under)

For the 5th challenge, we want you turn your attentions to Sydney culture and nightlife. Your task is to run your very own Sydney-themed event.. The type of event is entirely up to you – a Sydney-themed dinner party for your friends, or perhaps a night at the opera…(Sydney drinking isn’t a valid topic!).

The Fifth challenge to win the Awesome Tour of Sydney took place last week and after some great suggestions I ended up using Will’s idea of the Strictly Ballroom themed party.

The call went out for Bloggers,  Twitterers and Internet heads alike to don their best waltzing gear and head to Mount Merrion and I must say everyone looked marvelous.

The debate continues over whether Pavlova is Australian or the product of New Zealand but it was lovely. Thanks to Butler’s Pantry.

    It makes my heart cry that I am not in these pictures :-(

    @Sue – It was much fun. I think we should make it a monthly event.

    @TheChrisD – Are you kidding? Trying to keep him out of one is the tough part.

    @Rick – Aw, you were there in spirit. Actually you *were* there via twitter. I do believe you were getting the live feed straight to Cork.
