SYDNEY GAY & LESBIAN MARDI GRAS Not just a famously spectacular parade and an all-night dance party in Oxford Street, this is a month-long festival in February that also features theatre, art, photography and music in a celebration of gay and lesbian life.
Today's wild Mardi Gras parades are much different than the original, more religious events of the Middle Ages.
The carnival moves through raucous celebrations climaxing on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), and is over on Ash Wednesday.
Twice a week, the gardener would come to mow the lawn, so I could never lie down in the tall grass.
- Twee keer in de week kwam de tuinman om het gras te maaien, daarom kon ik nooit in het lange gras liggen.
Some children are playing on the grass.
