Melbourne’s city festival season has begun. This weekend saw the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival overlap with the Thai Culture Festival. Next weekend the Greek Festival begins, the Formula 1 crowds descend on the city, and the Jazz Festival coming soon. With all these events going on, it is difficult to resist a walk around the city centre with camera in hand.

The Thai Culture Festival drew in the crowds today. The weather was ideal for investigating all that was on offer.

On Melbourne’s Southbank were the slightly calmer and less trafficked Melbourne Food and Wine stalls.
