Also while in Sydney, Underwood received a roaring reception while performing for an exclusive VIP audience of media and music industry professionals at the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art.
After Melbourne and Sydney, Underwood traveled to Brisbane for additional appearances, including a halftime performance at the Broncos vs. Dragons National Rugby League match, as well as a performance and extended fan autograph signing in downtown Brisbane.
