Have you ever had a production before? I know I have, and it was my school production. It was AMAZING!!! It was the best performance ever! We have been practicing for a long time.
It is about Australian history and federation, and there are sooo many characters! We first start off with the tea ladies, they are very… how could I explain it… very funny actually, they gave out sandwiches and empty cups of tea. At the start I thought that the sandwiches are very good but until I had one… I felt like I’m going to throw up, because it was Vegemite sandwich… I know other people liked it but not me… (´･_･`) I actually felt sorry… but anyway. The most funny part is when they say ‘ would you like a cup of tea, love?’ I start to laugh at the back stage. And the commentators came and the show now started. There are some brides coming and they represent the 6 colonies to make Australia. There are Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales. When everyone is there Western Australia was late, because in history Western Australia doesn’t want to be apart of Australia, and the queen at that stage is queen Victoria, Victoria is named after her. When she was trying to say some thing the commentators interrupt, and everyone went away.
Here is Captain Cook, I am one of his soldiers, but anyways, at the start when he came out it was one of the funniest thing! And for us soldiers, we basically just copied what the first solider was saying, like when captain was trying to think what should we call for New South Wales. And our first idea is: Upside down land, topsy-turvy land, naval land and the funniest one is BOTTOM LAND! (^з^) It was sooo funny that everyone’s laughing. And the tea ladies came, Again.
Now we change into another cine, this is when I ran up steps and go back to where I was. We were sing while we came down steps with other people, they are convicts and just pretend that they are smelly…. does that sounds familiar… when we stoped singing, the Governor came out. And he is separating the colonies and they found Tasmania. They disgust about each colony need a governor. In that stage, there should be no telephones but the Governor has one and they called England to tell them do not send any more convicts so they said from the other side that they will not send any more but they will take back the soldiers.
This scene is about traveling across Australia. First there’s a person who wants to travel from Western Australia to Sydney to visit his friend. But during the flight they needs to check his suitcase and he is very annoyed, and he thinks that there’s free flight between colonies. And Victoria is arguing about the apple is too expensive. But somebody found gold at Victoria, so everyone came for gold. And I was very angry about this scene because it is about go against the Chinese so….. yep I’m a Chinese～(´▽｀) Well let’s go back into the track… so there was a guy called Edman Barton found gold at Victoria, and everyone noticed, and they started to dig for gold, and that place became famous and people named it: Ballarat, we went there last term for camp, I’ve already been there 3 years ago. People from all over the world came for gold and 14 million people came from China came to find gold and they started to fight of course Australians win.
After that we set up a cricket game. This is for people to decide if Australia is going to be a 6 separate colonies or a great country! The Queen came again she is going to start off the game, but first, we need to have a coin-toss, there was soo many people watching and I am one of the ‘cricket player’ and we start off the game but, when somebody went up and said ‘we could give the vote to the women!’ And my friend is a woman but she dress up as a man so did I. I hate that fake beard! It goes into your mouth! We think that it is not fair that women are not apart of the Federation but the commentators said that the Queen is apart of the federation and she is a woman. That is when I came out and throw the beard off and saying something…. just in that moment I throw it into some body’s face….(･_･; I am sorry for her…. anyway… When we finished off we end it with the song… Which is fun I hope we can do this again!
