Perth is located where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean. It is the capital of the State of Western Australia and a renowned tourist destination. The yearly Christmas parade is a big year-end event. The Divine Land Marching Band and waist drum group from Taiwan were invited to perform. Their performance won applause from the nearly 300,000 spectators. Some spectators beside the parade path stepped forward to shake hands with band members.

The Divine Land Marching Band with blue uniform was eye-catching in the two-kilometer procession. It was estimated that one million people viewed the parade from TV live coverage. When the Band played "Falun Dafa is good", the spectators were touched by the melodious music and applauded warmly.
The waist drummers' performance also caught the attention of the spectators. Many of them had never seen waist drummers before.
A group of beautiful celestial maidens and a others wearing traditional Tang costumes followed. People exclaimed, "Wonderful," and many took photos.
Mr. Li, a tourist from Indonesia with his family, said he was happy to see such a rare performance. He said when the band played the music "The whole world celebrates", he felt he was so happy as he stood on cloud.
Ms. Yang, a practitioner in Perth, said it was the first time for a Chinese group to participate in the Perth Christmas parade. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s office in Perth called the host organisation and lied that the Falun Gong group would make trouble in the parade. Of course, nothing of the sort came to pass.
Ms. Yang hoped that the band would be invited to perform again next year to demonstrate the grace of Falun Dafa to the world people.
