This is not music but you will have an opportunity of a lifetime to witness something you've probably never seen before: a Town Crier Competition.

You didn't say exactly when you will be in Victoria but the competition is in Sydney, a northern suberb of Victoria. On Sunday, May 21, Town Criers from all over the world will be competing at the Sidney Town Hall beginning around noon.

On Monday, the Victoria Day parade will occur.

On Tuesday, May 23, and on Thursday, May 25, the Criers will compete at the Sidney Town Hall from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM.

If you decide to attend one of these competitions, introduce yourself to us.
