Melbourne during Moomba

Melbourne loves its carnivals! They have them all the time during the summer (which is mostly over now). Here are some from the Moomba festival (don't ask me where it comes from).

There are lots of rides, fun fair-type stuff, games, etc.. During the day, there was water-skiing on the river and we saw a sword-swallowing street performer. At night, there were large screen movies and live band swing dancing in the dark...
