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.
The notice in the park said Keep off the grass.
- Op het bordje in het park stond geschreven Niet op het gras lopen!
The smell of cut grass summons up images of hot summer afternoons.
- De geur van gemaaid gras roept beelden op van hete zomermiddagen.
