The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, one of the most celebrated entertainment attractions in the world, visited Australia for the very first time in February 2005. Over 1300 performers including military bands from five countries, pipes and drums and supporting performers took part in this once-in-a-lifetime event.This is only the second time in its 54-year history that the Tattoo has been staged outside Edinburgh and represents a major coup for Sydney. The only other appearance outside Edinburgh was in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2000.
