Who doesn’t love a long weekend?  Today was Labour Day and was also the last day of Melbourne’s Moomba Waterfest. It should finish with some fireworks over the Yarra River tonight.  I was going to head out on the scooter but as soon as I hit the road I started sweating madly. It actually got to 39 degrees today.  Instead I headed up to watch the Moomba Parade. Lord Mayor John So announced that the Moomba Parade is the largest “family” parade in Australia.  It is actually quite an entertaining parade as loads of community and cultural groups march, dance and prance down Swanston Street.  Mostly it’s fun watching the teenagers who were so obviously forced into the parade by their parents.  I also spent the long weekend learning how to make Flash videos…  you’ve been warned.
