Victoria also has A Much-loved, but Very Rude, Festival
Some Aboriginal language specialists think that the aboriginal word, 'Moomba' rather than meaning 'let's hang out and have some fun' actually can be literally translated as 'up your bum'! Which is probably what the Birdmen shout each time they leap out over the Yarra.
What Lies Beneath The Queen Vic Markets...
The car park for the markets is built on the site of Melbourne's original cemetery. When the market was being extended in 1917, some 900 of the named and 'celebrity' graves were relocated to Fawkner and the General Cemeteries, but many more were in unmarked graves, and it is thought some 9000 souls remain below the car park.
Mind your goat
Under local Melbourne by-laws, it is an offence to drive your goat (or dog) harnessed or attached to a vehicle in a public place. It's also illegal to sing a rude or bawdy song within earshot of another person, so careful what you sing along to next time you have your earphones in!
