April 08, 2005Bundanoon is Brigadoon
Years ago when I was a kid I watched a film called Brigadoon. I don't remember too much about it other than once a year, the town of Brigadoon appeared out of the mist in Scotland. In Australia, a town in New South Wales named Dundanoon takes on the role of Brigadoon. They make such an effort, it'd be rude not to go along... After the piped bands have perfomed individually and together en masse in the oval, the highland games begin. There is haggis throwing, shot put, various games and displays from local groups (including cavaliers displaying sword fighting skills, and dog obedience displays) all manner of shops and stalls selling scottish food, t-shirts, car stickers, tartan, you name it - it was probably there!
