Favourite memory from all Nationals:

1976, Canberra, I think it was the Saturday night.

There was a huge crowd in the Yarralumla woolshed singing before the start of the dance. Mick Fogarty, who was MC and main caller for the dance, switched on his microphone at the end of a song and said "I'm sorry, you'll have to stop singing, it's time to start the dance." Without missing its stride, the whole crowd started singing "Lord of the Dance."

That was the sort of thing that made that National the best of them all. I still come out in goose bumps thinking about it.
