Midsumma is over. I have to say it was an impressive program me for a whole month, and I’m glad I was here for all of it. I saw so many shows and met some great people. Funny how pride follows me on this trip….

The last day was the pride march down Fitzroy street in St. Kilda, in blistering heat, reaching 40 degrees again.

I met up with Rajiv, and we killed a couple of beers, while watching Melbourne parade by. It’s a smaller march, no big floats, no party music thumping… but lots of associations, political and community organizations parading by.

In that sense, it was nice to see a pride that still focusses on its initial message, and is not just a big carnival.

So, without further ado, here are some pics.
