  7. Yes, you were spotted! Such a contrast between the modern city and the re-enactors.

  8. Oh I just love this! I have been to a few re-enactments over the years and they always bring the history to life. Looks like the re-enactors are having a great time, too.

  15. What a fun event to witness. I do hope they were easy on Nick....I mean, he was wearing a Doors t-shirt; they should know he's just a hippie looking for some fun. ;)

  16. Super shots, I like the idea of historical re-enactments Tanya we should do the first colonials arriving from Britain and how the Aborigines reacted to them, but I don't think we do!
