Eurovision 2016 - Close but no cigar for Australia

This last weekend saw the running of the 61st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It was held in Stockholm, Sweden and it was by far the best one I have watched so far. The two hosts, Petra Meade and Mans Zemerlow were just great and the show was a hoot.

Australia was represented by Dami Im who sang "The Sound of Silence". When the jury voting came in, Dami was a long way in front, but when the televotes were counted, Australia just got pipped by Ukraine at the last minute. 

I was sad for Dami, but glad for Ukraine, considering all the bad stuff that has been happening there.
