The Special Olympics 2013 Asia Pacific Opening Ceremony was a spectacular scene that left Newcastle shining.
Stunning local performances, fireworks and special effects lit Hunter Stadium on Sunday 1st December when more than 20,000 people united to support the Special Olympics 2013 Asia Pacific Games opening ceremony.
The ceremony kicked off the inaugural week-long event..
About 2500 athletes from 29 countries paraded onto the field and rejoiced in the city-wide celebration, which was televised around the world.
The night's performances included local dancers, singers, drummers and tappers from Rosie's School of Rock, The Marching Koalas, The Waltzing Matildas, Chakras Performing Arts and an appearance from Hunter Surf Life Saving.
Anthony Callea was part of the musical line up of some of Australia's finest entertainers and joined other iconic performers Iva Davies, Marcia Hines, The McClymonts, Silvie Paladino, Doug Parkinson, Darren Percival, Marina Prior and Human Nature.
This was truly showcase event of Australia's greatest entertainers under the direction of Creative Director, John Foreman.

    I just found this "song" last week. Never seen Hercules or even knew about it. t he song to me was the song of my heart - not some cartoon or Disney movie. i stayed up listening to htis song and seeking different versions. Came upon Anthony's version. Just bang on - so full, so rick, so powerful and so moving. I used to sing many years ago and then life struggles over took me. We live in a world where it is hard to make a come back in a "real" world. I have a romantic, dream vision that I know will never happen but I dream and fatasize that I can sng this song with the faith and trust of Anthony. I would like to go the distance andmake a difference. I want too...but the pain and scars are real. I love those stories where survivors come back and go a distance. I would love to help others to realize they can make a difference adn go the distance no matter what but I can't ust like I can no longer sing. Who would think one night praying in a chapel would leadto me being raped and abused by my bible college. I keep saying I could survive the rape but not how I was treated by my church. And now I am powerless, beaten and my voice figurativel and lieterally gone. But this song inspires me I wish I could share this as the song of my heart. I truly am inspired. I admit every few years I find a song that gives me a goose bumps and makes me dream and hope to be something more than I am or even think I could be. I know I will never sing this song on Earth but one day in Heaven. May you all go the distance.

    I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance And my journey is complete, oh yeah But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world, I will face its harms 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
