Ep 14: Di Henry – Games Girl

Di Henry’s first parade involved 1000 sheep and a bullock train trundling through the Sydney CBD to promote the Royal Easter Show, and she brought out Robosauraus to the RES.

From that she went on to Mardi Gras parades and then the 2000 Sydney Olympic torch relay followed by a dozen more Olympics, Commonwealth and Asian Games relays.

Di spent 2012 in England organising events for the City of London including a royal wedding, and the London Olympics city activations.

Then back to the Sydney RES for another stint followed by the Paramasala Festival in Parramatta.

Currently Di is trying to work out how to get back to Alice Springs for the Parrtjima Festival in September and creating embroidered artworks for sale via urbanembroidery.shop
