January 10th, 1903, Sydney Harbour, Australia.
It was the National Day again, and Sydney was still crowded with people. However, people's gathering place had changed from the central square in front of the Administrative Building to the open space of Sydney Harbour.
Due to the naval grand parade, and the Australian Government and the royal family had been warming up throughout Australia a month in advance, the open space near the harbor was filled with onlookers, and many people didn't even have a place to stand.
The crowd was shoulder to shoulder, and in some narrow places, it was difficult to even stretch one's arms.
But this did not affect Australians' enthusiasm for attending the parade. As early as five o'clock in the morning, the open space was almost full of people, and the number was still increasing rapidly.
