Walking down Swanston Street

With the Commonwealth Games on, you could just walk around the city and there will definitely be something to see. There are also noticeably larger crowds on the streets in general. We were just wandering around today and spotted a big chess game in progress. Never noticed that this patch of tiles was actually a chess board.

Thought the big plastic chess pieces were quite cute. Wonder where they get them?

Also spotted these roving performers from the arts festival called the Seagulls. These big birds were just following people around and imitating them. Didn't manage to catch on camera one of the funny scenes we spotted - that would have made a great picture.
