An Aboriginal group with some didgeridoos and boomerangs, in Melbourne's Moomba Parade, passing Flinders St. Station. Moomba is the largest free community festival in Australia, held over the Labour Day weekend in March, and culminating in the giant parade. Moomba is supposedly an Aboriginal word for "let's get together and have fun," but more recent evidence suggests it means something more like "up your bum," and was a joke played on city fathers in the 1950's when they were looking for a name for their festival.
