It's been a wonderful two weeks - singing at The Abbey and St Pauls, the BBC Proms and of course performing some wonderful works in some of the world's best locations. Oh, and we did Australia proud !!!! One Londoner was heard to remark after the concert at St Pauls: " I didn't know they did things like this in Australia.. I thought it was just football and cricket"
We had a very good masterclass with Mary King, which resulted in a "quacked" version of Happy Birthday for Steven yesterday ...well, you had to be there to fully appreciate it and know what I mean!!! After tomorrow night, and the formal reception at Australia House, around 122 very tired, and fulfilled choristers (and staff) will start to wend their way back home to Sydney ...via many different routes. What an experience...we've been very fortunate indeed.

As the Choir wends its way home I think it would be amiss if somebody in London didn't say "thank you" to you all for the pleasure you have brought to this City in the short time you have been over here. I hope it won't be too long before you return!
