Rain, rain and more rain was the weather’s theme for ANZAC day 2012 in Melbourne …
Here’s some photos from a different perspective than my previous shoots; pre-parade, showing a very desolate, dark and wet Melbourne city.

As March kicks in, Melbourne comes alive with so many events.
Moomba, Australia’s largest free community festival celebrates Melbourne’s people culture and its most beloved characteristics. The Moomba Parade, a Melbourne tradition, returned in 2011 with another colourful and energetic display.
The floats this year were a celebration of the city’s bold and colourful character …

Awesome work mate! Love the composition and post-processing. Pity we couldn't make it this year but I am definitely NOT missing ...

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
