Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and
community guide.
This week... Melbourne Fringe Festival hits town with all its
wonderfully quirky performances in an explosion of arty-fartyness
guaranteed to have culture-vultures drooling at the beak.
There's also true signs of spring finally having sprung with the
Wildflower Festival held at the Royal Botanic Gardens in
Cranbourne, showcasing no end of native flowers along with special
activities for the kids.
Things are also getting big and brassy with two music festivals
blowing their own trumpets this week with the Montsalvat Jazz
Festival and the Melbourne International Festival of Brass, both
featuring some of the best bands in the music scene today.
Should you happen upon anyone blowing their own trumpet elsewhere,
well that's either a risqué performance as part of Fringe,
or you just should've caught a taxi yet again instead of risking
the late night tram.
And if you find yourself audience to a boisterous chap wrestling
his ball while onlookers cry foul, you've clearly gone for the
third option with a late-night train... unless you're at the
biggest sports event of the year, that being the AFL Grand Final.
Here are highlights from the latest newsletter.
