Debutante ball in Mount Perry


Quite a different look for the country girls and -boys in Mount Perry. For the first time in many years, the school organised a so called "debutante ball". Similar to the proms in the US. It is held near the end of the last school year, presenting the girls and boys to the society. Their official introduction to the big world.
All the debutantes were officially introduced to the mayor and had their formal dance. All of this in front  of a big audience: the township was well present. I bet 150 people, including Pam and I.
After the official ceremony it was a nice party evening with live music.
Funny part -in my eyes- was that the Council Hall where the event took place, has no liquor licence. So it was  BYO (Bring Your Own) alcohol. Big cooler boxes in the size of a bedside table (nachtkasje)  with ice, wine, bottles of rum, Jim Beam and BEEEEEEEEEER.
