I have Done Moomba.

A couple of rides, watched the Birdman Rally, watched some wakeboarding, ate some ice cream…I’ve had a lovely time, but am ready to not move for the rest of the day

What about the most important part? The Labour Day march by our unions with their historic banners?

This is the true meaning of Moomba. A distraction from Labour Day and union ideals and participation . Moomba was set up by Melbourne business associations
