I mentioned the New Dawn ceremony that took place in Alice Springs. I think that was probably the keynote signature event, if you like. It was a deliberate attempt to not have a signature event in Sydney. That was because there was a concern that with the Olympics and with the bicentennial three years earlier, there was a risk of the thing becoming too Sydney focused. The place of indigenous people in Australian life was obviously a prominent thing in the celebrations. The New Dawn ceremony in Alice Springs was probably the most high-profile event held during the year.
On November 1st, 2011. See this statement in context.
