ok cool, #FedSquare #Melbourne *should* be used for big public events, but I do think #FootballAustralia, who pushed so hard for this, are obliged to also include a proper celebration of the Inaugural #FIFA Peace Prize awardee, see how that plays here.

Fed Square will not show World Cup matches for the first time since 2006 after management cited poor fan behaviour, including flare injuries and barricade breaches...

#AO26 #FedSquare

A city that avoided gathering spaces.

1830s surveyor Robert Hoddle laid out the city grid without a major central square; a deliberate design choice to avoid the open #plazas that elsewhere had become magnets for #dissent and mass #protest.

Got a #DemocracySausage at #FedSquare.

About to go vote.

I watched #ENGvCOL at #FedSquare on Saturday night. #Colombia fans were singing, cheering, making noise, being amazing - all good vibes.

#England fans were being somewhat loudly obnoxious, and when they scored, at least 2 glasses smashed.

I lived in England for years growing up, and though I support all women's football teams (all of them!), I dislike England fans across most sports. Not all of them, obviously, but there's bad vibes there.

It seems I've not posted here in a few weeks(!)

I made it to #melbourne without incident. Jetlag was a swine but I was okay by the third day after arriving.

Been to watch rehearsals of a play my mate is directing, been clubbing, went on ferris wheel for 1st time ever, saw a live gig, and more!
I can't believe I've only got 4 and a half days left until I leave. :(

Here's a few pics from my hols so far. 😁
