e’re a resilient bunch, we Melburnians. No matter what squalls and storms the heavens hurl at us, even in the cruellest of winters, we’re still happy to brave the elements for a night out on the town.
You only have to look at the number of festivals and openings scheduled for August for proof that it takes more than a little hailstorm to rain on our parade.

And if you can’t face the elements, there’s always a big night in watching
