When we noticed that the stages were all set up for the Australian Idol final outside the Opera House.
Look who was doing her sound check. Last year's runner up, Jess Mauboy.
She sounded fabulous. The girls were thrilled. Then we hotfooted it into the House for our 1.30pm start time to see the Aussie Ballet perform Interplay.
The Idol final is on tonight. There's no way we'd even attempt to cross the harbour for the craziness. We'll hear all the commotion from our house and we'll be looking out for the fireworks.

Commenting from autumny-wintery Scotland - it's lovely to see sunshine in your post.
SUNSHINE! Wow, haven't seen that for a few days at least! *heehee*
That must be fun for the girls to be able to say "we were there when..."
How was the ballet?
The ballet was good. It's always a great afternoon out with the little girls, they get a chance to dress up and sit in a theatre. Being in the school band they are interested in watching the orchestra as much as the ballet.
It's rainy here today so not sure how the AusIdol final will go on their outdoor stages!
Glad the ballet was good and the girls enjoyed it. Can you hear any music / singing from the O house from where you are?
Looks like the soundcheck was little drier than the actual performance!
The opera house is an amazing place for a ballet performance.
J always loathes Idol Final night because he lives close by to the Opera House.
I of course loved this little sneak preview...
ohh the circles you move in :)
