I could be heading to the Australia Day ceremony in Canberra tomorrow. I did 
look into the tonights ceremony but they didn't reply to my email.

Do they typically allow gawkers to take photographs at public
citizenship ceremonies?  I might be able to get to the Brisbane one
(weather permitting) tomorrow.

Sounds good.  It would be good to try to collaborate on a Wikinews
piece about the various events.

The recipients will be announced at a ceremony in Canberra from 6:00pm
until 7:00pm.  If we can get a list of winners, we can collaborate on
determining notability and improving the articles.

There will be a concert from 7:45pm - 10:00pm.

Both events will be held on the lawns of Federation Mall in front of
Parliament House, Canberra.

Can anyone with a camera make it to either event?
