Melbourne was really busy last night with the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony going on. The streets were packed around Federation Square and along the Yarra as people were getting together to check out what the fuss was all about.
Me, Shane and Bek walked into Fed Square and met up with J-Unit and Ruth. Watched the big screen for a bit.
Fireworks were going off everywhere around Melbourne.
A short walk towards the Yarra, to see the fish. They had all the AFL team captains walk the baton along it.
The Arts Centre grassy area was covered in sand for a ‘Beach’ scene. Pepsi: $4, Beer $4. Hmmm

From what I saw of the opening ceremony, it was just weird. Flying tram, a goose that turns into a flying lady, flying Koalas… very strange. I did however, love the fact that the Cat Empire played while the athletes were entering the MCG. The Cat Empire rock.
