Note to Sam Gregg

Saturday, July 8, 2006

There was an impressive Australian contingent at the World Meeting of Families. I saw one group of at least 50, and there may have been others. They were all decked out in yellow and green soccer shirts that said “Australia” on the back, wore Outback hats and carried a large Australian flag. That was just at the conference. (Cardinal Pell was terrific on the panel, as expected.)

At the Parade this morning, I saw the same green and yellow jerseys. But the Austrailian highlight for me, was when I heard, in the distance, a brass band playing “The Wild Colonial Boy.” I assume it was an Australian band, though I never caught sight of them! :-)
