I cannot believe ANZAC day has come around again so quickly…
…this year the ANZAC Day march in Melbourne brought with it some unfortunate drama with a heritage vehicle losing control and reportedly running over 7 veterans.
Once again, the march evoked many emotions. Again like last year, I felt so proud to be an Australian, with a strong crowd there to cheer them on. It was awesome to see so many young Australians both supporting and marching.
Lest we forget them…
Make sure you Click on the Slideshow link to see the full set of photos from the march, I hope you enjoy them.

Australia’s largest free community festival celebrates Melbourne’s people culture and its most beloved characteristics. The Moomba Parade, a Melbourne tradition, returned in 2010 with another colourful and energetic display.
Spectacular floats with more than 1,400 community members taking part, the theme of this year’s Parade was “Moomba is Melbourne and Melbourne is an eventful city”. Floats celebrated everything Melbourne is famous for; its people, its sport, its art, its food and wine – even its weather.

SLAM (Save Live Australian Music) Rally was a peaceful protest, held in Melbourne this afternoon.
With an estimated crowd of 70,000 strong, the people protested that live music will no longer be an automatic trigger for high risk conditions on many liquor licenses.
They marched with their instruments singing ‘LONG WAY TO THE TOP’ from Melbourne State Library down Swanston and Bourke St to Spring Street

The chant began….”brains, brains, brains !”
The cry grew louder as the Zombies swarmed together at Carlton Gardens waiting patiently for their shuffle of doom through Melbourne’s CBD.
Here’s a few shots from the day.
(Parental Guidance is recommended for the Full Slideshow as the zombies in the photos are dressed up in some gory outfits and makeup).

Today I photographed the ANZAC Day march in Melbourne.
I had a roller coaster of feelings watching the ol’ diggers march down St Kilda Rd, it was an incredible and emotional scene.
I felt so proud to be an Australian, with a massive crowd there to cheer them on, and have so much respect and admiration for what the diggers did for us, lest we forget them.

It finally rained in Victoria, although, it happened over most of the airshow weekend.
I was lucky enough to catch a few shots with some blue sky, and contrasting stormy skies.
While waiting for some action in the outer (cheap seats) of the 2009 Avalon Airshow, we watched the storm pass over the bay.
Neil, Lisa, Campbell and I were there to catch some shots of the amazing machines of the sky this afternoon.

Hi Everyone,
I photographed the Melbourne Moomba Parade and wandered down to the banks of the Yarra River where the carnival is held with my dad today.
Each float in the Moomba Parade represents the cultural diversity of the Melbourne community, plenty of colour, character and fun.
Click below to see a selection of photos of how I saw the parade, community, streets and river bank, hope you enjoy.
