The City of Melbourne has lots of activities happening today, one of which is the People's March sponsored by Australian Unity where Australians from different backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia Day! First in the march is the cattlemen of the highlands, these are the original Men from Snowy River!
Next we have the chinese community and their lion and dragon dance troupes.
These adorable girls are representing the Burmese community.
The Turkish Association proudly carrying the Australian flags.
The Falun Dafa who could never be able to do this in China!
Part of the Falun Dafa groups, pretty fan dancing ladies in pink!
Australia has a big Indian community and these are just the Victorian branch only!
The Sikhs with their dance & music like in the Bollywood movies!
Last but not least, the volunteers of the Commonwealth Games who deserve all the support we can give them, they do it for love and nothing else!
After that we have the aerial stun display by the Royal Australian Air Force flying over the city skyline!
People were all keen to follow the parade down to the Alexandra Gardens where there are heaps of fun filled entertainments for the whole family!
This is a patriotic day for all Australians. Aussies! Aussies! Aussies! Oi! Oi! Oi!

- tree for Bollywood dancers to play peek-a-boo behind
- roti canai from the Indians
- Buddha statue from the Burmese

- etc
