Oh no not the Moomba parade ๐ That and the birdman rally are the only decent things about Moomba.
My daughter of was in the parade a few years back, part of her dance school.
It was fun but like the Royal Melbourne Show, massive money out and rip-off
moomba parade was started to stop people going to labour union marches
the Baillieu's and other commerce and industrialists were behind it
it's not a local government or city event
Wow. That changes the whole vibe. Thanks for the headsup!
