Spring into Spring And Do The Melbourne Thing

Photo: Huntz

While the northern hemisphere slows down, sleeps a little longer and watches the sun sink lower into the sky (or disappear altogether), we who reside in one of the last outposts before Antarctica welcome the rising sun with the anticipation of cold blooded geckos. Well, most people that is. Others (like me) return to Melbourne with glowing suntans after 10 weeks in the Caribbean, having played truant to another miserable winter. Looks like I’ve arrived back at a very good time of the year as there are many exciting festivals and events in the lead up to summer.
