Notes:
This dance was first performed at a Bush Music Club dance at Beecroft in April 1998.
It was written on the occasion of the unveiling of a new banner for the Southern Cross Bush Band.
The dancers retain their numbering through the dance, but may not finish in original places during the dance. Opposites have the same number.
This dance was a winner in the 1999 TSDAV competition.
