Carlton Italian Fiesta @ Lygon St

Another lovely Sunday afternoon, this time, celebrating all things Italian right in Piazza Italia on Lygon St. Lots of games and play areas for the young ones, a mobile animal pen where kids and adults can come up close with little chooks and sheep… long queues at all the gelato stands! There is a display of vintage Italian cars- tiny little Fiats, Ferrari, Lamborghini ( see no touch ), Alfa Romeos etc. .. food, coffee, live music, busy Lygon St sidewalks… The very essence of italian culture!

North Melbourne Spring Fling

20/10/2013 Sunday. A lovely sunny Spring day to spend the afternoon with friends on Errol St, North Melbourne. A whole day of fun for the family with games for the little ones, live music, a pet contest, and pet registration and pet hospitals setting up information booths. North Melbourne seems like a pet- loving suburb ! There were free recycled shopping bags, free poo bags for doggies, free photo booth, and lots of mobile food trucks. This event, in its 35th year, aims to connect the community with a sense of belonging. Every suburb should have its own fling day ! We ended the afternoon with a round of coffee at Auction Room, and whiled the time away until they closed !
