I like this idea - the 5 venues colour coded and all interlinked. Definitely a south bank event where I expect the beach volley ball will run with the city skyline and all the pedestrian bridges in the background. Probs have to include Mt Coot-tha somewhere in there - perhaps the bike road race or the marathon. I think the music will have to be cast more widely to Australian bands, with well known/international Bris/Qld bands being a touch thin on the ground.... Anyway, looking forward to it
We must remember that the host nation for the 2032 Games is Australia. Sure, we can - and must - emphasise Queensland, but we can include non-Queensland artists in the opening ceremony, just as we’ll include non-Queensland athletes in the “home” team.
The Games are actually awarded to the city, not the country, but of course all of Australia should and will be represented. But we should put Brisbane front and centre, just as Sydney was during its Olympics.
