Its funny how Melbourne just gets on and does the most amazing things, its the food festival so we caught the tram (5 minutes) into town and got off at Fed Square for the Great Aussie BBQ, we enjoyed Beef from Neil Perry and the Rockpool team, Goat from Movida, another dish from Circa - it was all great.

We watched cooking demonstrations on the stage (love the fake lawn)

We wandered from Fed Square over to Birrarung Mar where we watched them putting up the Ferris Wheel and listened to the Federation Bells

then we walked home (as you do when you live in Sth Melbourne).

Sunday we enjoyed more of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival cycling in to Fed Square again for the Thai experience enjoying more food and festivities with thousands of people (no pix this time).
