More Melbourne Panasonica

OK – I did say next stop Singapore, didn’t I? Well I am still loving playing with my new point-and-shoot, so I’ll treat you to a few more Melbourne CBD sights.

Today I stumbled across a public speed chess match played with man-size pieces. It attracted quite a crowd!

Whilst heading back inside the office two kids grabbed my attention. Each had an extra head in their hands, complete with hair, and a full face. They took turns to place them inside their hoods on top of their head, as second heads (who was that character on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?), on the ground where they stood on them and occasionally throwing them at unsuspecting passers-by.

Everywhere you look along Bourke and Swanston Streets you see buskers. Some are way better than others. This guy was one of the better ones, and was selling CDs – I bought one of course. His didjeridoo and guitar are both hand-made by himself, and he even threw in a DVD showing how to find a didj tree then actually make the instrument.
