"Great that's all we need, a cock in a frock on a rock"

Contrary to all expectations, the party was actually very good fun! Everyone there was gay (we assumed) and I think the assumption worked the other way too-Becky set one guy straight (so to speak!) but no-one else asked. The nice thing was that no-one cared and everyone in the room seemed to be totally genuine and friendly, no facades, no bravado and all really chatty and full of ideas about what we should do in Sydney. The film was great-we said we would introduce more people in Britain to it because I don't think it was quite the sensation in England that is was in Oz. There are some great shots of the outback as well as the film starting in Sydney. In fact there was a classic moment after several glasses of wine when two of the guys said they were off to the bar where the movie was filmed and Becky asked in surprise if they were setting off to the outback (it was nearing midnight by this time!) We got a potted history of the gay scene in Sydney, from a guy who lived in New Caledonia and so was French, I talked to two teachers about the differences in our education system and there was a woman who owned a flat in another tower block, on the 14th floor who spoke Australian and cat...not sure the cats knew what she was saying any more than we did! There was surprisingly little singing for a sing-along, although the cat lady did a fair bit on her own! The coolest thing was the 3d experience-they have a big screen which scrolls down and when certain things in the film happened the guys hosting threw things -socks, ping pong balls (not explaining that one, you'll have to watch it!) -and we all had party poppers to let off at an appropriate moment! It was all meticulously planned and I think George had spent a lot of the day cooking-excellent food!

Anyway, there you go-potentially scary evening turned out to be great fun...and it took us 5 secs to get home afterwards!

Oh and here are some pics of dessert-not great as light was dim, but you can make out the devonshire cream tea which was according to the cat lady invented in Australia and stolen by us!
