Welcome to the Southern Cross Feis

A wonderful day in Sydney, sunny and not too hot. There is a lot of smoke haze about from the bush fire prevention burning off undertaken yesterday. Tarquette has been laid over the wood dance floor, so the dance area is a full-size area directly in from of the adjudicator, Brendan Tiernan.

There is a small but happy crowd here and dancing should commence about 0900.
