Um why are they in Parramatta Park?
It looks like they are on a country field in rural NSW - nothing is going on behind them - hardly feels celebratory or Australian or like an event.
Did you see Rachel Corbett wore a very similar blue lacy top like Lisas dress? 
Theyâre at a Nine News sponsored event.

Because it would be a huge target market for them? Parramatta takes in a huge amount of surrounding suburbia? Even if they were in the city crowds arenât going to be much bigger. Itâs a public holiday. No one out before 10.
Why not go somewhere that is iconic or spectacular for TV - Sydney Harbour, Surfers Paradise Beach, Uluru - or something - Parramatta Park doesnât make good TV
