Friends of Dorothy ring in 2007.
Sydney led the world into 2007 in inimitable style, with a spectacular fireworks display courtesy of the City of Sydney.
The night had a ‘Diamond Night in Emerald City’ theme, marking the diamond anniversary (75th) of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Official festivities at the Opera House were more than a little queer, with pop star Paulini performing a rendition of Judy Garland’s ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ and an entertainment segment featuring the cast of Priscilla: The Musical. Children were encouraged to click their heels three times to usher in the first of the night’s fireworks displays, as giant images of Dorothy’s red slippers from The Wizard of Oz were projected onto Harbour Bridge pylons.
This story – and variations of it – appeared in several publications, both mainstream and "gay" - in the days following New Year's Eve celebrations at Darling Harbour, Sydney.
Here's a link to one of the publications it appeared in.
