   The parade itself was a little lacklustre this year, lacking in originality and perhaps not as good as it has been in the recent past

   The crowds were out in force, which is always a positive, especially when it is overseas visitors who are driving the atmosphere…., the organisers might have to come up with some new ideas.

      Thank you, Louis, for that considered and insightful analysis.

      Did you by any chance partake in National Yokes Day?

   Where’s that window box then?
   1. ahyeah March 17, 2015 at 5:53 pm

      Almost opposite City Hall, directly above the Queen of Tarts. It’s an apartment building.

   I’d be interested to know why whomever – the organisers, maybe? saw fit to block off portions of the footpaths with fencing covered in black pastic so people were prevented from seeing the parade. I stopped going years ago because it’s too difficult to see because of the throngs of people. To limit the viewing area even further is bizarre and certainly not friendly.

      Because they need to leave a certain number of strategic access points open and free of crowds so that emergency vehicles can get access quickly if needed. That’s international best practice, and you’ll see it wherever there’s a similar event. One of the access points is the top of Parliament Street – pictured here – and there’s another at the top of Pearse Street.

         (And they restrict visibility so that people don’t congregate there)

         Yup.

      Hubby commented on that just now, said it was a bit silly there were so many black walls up a long the route.

      Figured it was for some valid reason. Shame though, sounds like a real hindrance.

   I think that person is Gavin maguire.
   1. Parp March 18, 2015 at 1:10 pm

      I think I have no idea who Gavin Maguire is.

   That really is a great picture of the guy and his cat. Cat even seems to be aware of the camera :D
