Country dances are notorious for creating fun, havoc and crazy memories.
Celebrate, dance
mating rituals in the bush
tune the ute
decorate the hall
apply make-up over the sun spots
lose the jeans and put on a dress
polish the ‘RM’ boots
create mile high clouds of dust
do some circle work
lines of people watching
fresh faces and clean shirts
let the fun begin
This is how they party in the bush.
A culture of survival has grown up in the rural areas of Australia over the last 40 years.
Statistically, more than half the children from the land move to the cities to find work, but they are drawn back to the bush in a mad mating ritual called the B&S Ball. The Bachelor and Spinster Balls are legendary, everyone goes with one purpose; to party.
Formal dresses end up covered in mud and dust, three-piece suits turn to rags and to put it mildly, those attending do drink some alcohol.
