<p>Nikki Webster made headlines when she performed at the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics and 20 years on has decided to share what the experience was like.</p>
<p>“There was no written book on how to do it right. We just kind of went with it. Took the experience for what it was and that,” she explained.</p>
<p>“I got to be immersed with so many different people from around the world, I got to make music and clothing ranges and do so much,” she added.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old recently shared with <em>news.com.au </em>just how stressful the opening night ceremony was.</p>
<p>“The only thing I was nervous about was being able to fly, because that was a major part of it,” she said.</p>
<p>“I think in two of the dress rehearsals the week before it was so windy that I couldn’t fly.</p>
<p>“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but I wasn’t allowed to.</p>
<p>“Then on the day I remember the wind picked up in the afternoon and I thought it wasn’t going to happen, but thankfully it did.”</p>

<p>Webster was in a harness and was flown across the stadium for five minutes before landing and performing <em>Under The Southern Skies</em>.</p>
<p>20 years on, she's now the proud mother of two kids, Skylah, 5 and Malachi, 2.</p>
<p>To celebrate the anniversary of the Olympics with her family, she got out the pink floral dress that she wore on stage and was surprised her daughter could fit into it.</p>

<p>She's also excited to show her children and husband Matthew McMah the entire opening ceremony at the Sydney Olympics.</p>
<p>“I think she is ready to watch the whole thing,” she said.</p>
<p>“To understand the culture of Australia, the deep sea dreaming, and how the whole thing was represented.”</p>
