February, 1994: The New Zealand government’s official Wizard is invited by the Mayor of Tamworth, Australia to perform a rain dance (approved by the local Aboriginal Commission) in an attempt to break the region’s ongoing drought.
The Wizard travels to Australia on a special passport provided by the British High Commission stamped “The Wizard of New Zealand”, over concerns that his claim he is ‘not subject to mortal laws’ may cause issues at immigration.
Three days after his dance, the town was inundated with rain, with the wizard reporting that the subsequent flooding “produced many letters of complaint”.
Following his success, the Wizard announced he would be staking claim to the title of “Wizard of Oz”.
