A lively and vibrant festival, with lots of music, dancing and food! Held at Melbourne CBD's iconic federation square.

The Day of the Dead (Mexican) Festival

The Festival is celebrated in full colours to honour the dead. This was held in Federation Square, Melbourne on 1 November.

A big laugh out at Fed Square

I missed the above gig today because I had to be with my son who joined the photography contest sponsored by Sony for the skateboarding contest dubbed 'Sony in Motion' simultaneously held at Queensbridge Square...However, after the contest, while walking to the Riverside Skate Park I saw this guy in the photo below and decided to watch his acts, that was fun! Here, you can see him standing on a pole with torches in one hand!

Saturday Night - at Fed Square and Southbank

If you look at these photos you may never believe how my day was today, frantic and unpredictable , like the Melbourne weather...I would fill in a whole page if I write about it. The only consolation I had was, of course, going for a little walk in one of my favourite places which I have not actually visited for quite a while, the Southbank... 

This time we took the Metro train after leaving the car at the station from where we came from, and since the place to go for walks is just beside the station, it was the most practical thing to do... We saw a huge christmas tree across the road at Fed Square when we got off Flinders station...so, out of curiosity, we crossed the road, took a couple of photos there before walking down the steps to the Southbank where there was a huge crowd walking by... we saw some people busking, others were either taking photos or just talking or sitting on benches by the river bank.....it was so lively and lovely...for a while, I left my worries behind.
