King Street in Newtown, a very eclectic area.

Big video screen showing the Mardi Gras parade, aka the Sydney Gay Pride Parade, the largest in the world. The crowd was 15-deep so virtually impossible to get a clear view of the scene. Thus the screen was set up at a main junction to help out the rest of us. Despite the name, it has nothing to with Shroves or Tuesdays.
