Some time ago I started a ‘Bucket List’ of places and things I would like to see or do. Here’s the ticks so far 🙂

* Bucket List Tick – 2018 – Attending a performance by Bangarra Dance Theatre – Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia

February 14, 2018 (yes Valentine’s Day) I attended the performance by Bangarra Dance Theatre on their 2018 Regional Tour at Dubbo Regional Theatre Convention Centre . My BFF had very kindly invited me to attend it with her. I was thrilled as I had for many years longed to see them live. It was such an incredible and moving show. I highly recommend seeing them if the opportunity presents itself.

* Bucket List Tick – 2015 – Attending a live Sydney Swans AFL Game – Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

For almost as many years as I have been a Swans fan, I have wanted so much to attend at least one live game. In 2015, my family and partner surprised me with a birthday gift I will never forget. A weekend away had been planned and booked for a few days after my birthday, including tickets to the Sydney Swans game at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)! All I needed to do was pack and go. It was an amazingly relaxing and incredibly enjoyable weekend. Naturally the highlight for me was walking into the SCG and having seats only a few rows from the boundary. The players were so close and the atmosphere was awesome. The game was exciting and my usual enthusiasm I show at home emerged there too. The memories are just wonderful and I hope I never lose them.

* Bucket List Tick – 2011 – Explore Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia

I have enjoyed watching motorsports for years and longed to go to Phillip Island. I was lucky enough to be able to do this in 2011. Although there was no racing at the time, it is an amazing place to explore and I would love to go back and see it all again someday.
