The one day in the year where everyone in melbourne decides to drink beer and eat food al fresco style in St Kilda, because apparently you can’t do that any other day. I think if the bands weren’t there I’d make more of an effort to get away from St Kilda on that day, just an insane amount of people, all of them hungry and thirsty. A good excuse for bars to up their prices it seems.

But who’s being negative, ended up being a top day and managed to see Xavier Rudd and Cat Empire. The crowd seemed to really get into both bands which was cool, massive turnout for them, people everywhere you looked.

Was definitely a better option training/tramming there rather than driving (which I did the last 2 years), but the V/Line guy didn’t seem to like me and decided to study my ticket with his super special CSI blue light, which he was probably just using to look cool.

I think the one of the main highlights of the day was the dude who decided to climb the scaffolding of the main stage, which must have been around 10 metres high the crowd loved it, the organisers hated it, would have been rather nasty if he fell. This year I’m sure had way more people, haven’t heard the guesstimate that the news people have blurted out but it’s gotta be some kind of record. Last year we were quite easily able to sit on the grass and watch the bands, that just wasn’t possible this year, absolute corner to corner people. There’s a few photos taken on my phone and you can find them in the gallery. Try and sport the human pyramid and there’s a couple of photos of the guy on the scaffolding, hard to make out though.
