St. Kilda Festival continued for a week, culminating in the big day on Sunday. There were several stages for different music (pop, hip hop, indie, etc...) we listened to a little of each, we didn’t know any of the bands so if nothing else we got an insight into Australian music.
There was more than just music; there were many stands, some selling clothes, food and general stuff. Some were selling a very special foodstuff, Da-dada-da-dada-da THE TWISTY POTATO (on a stick) I have mentioned it before, but this time I had room enough (in my tummy) to eat one. Andy wants to bring them over to the UK and make a fortune, they were $5 each and to make them they spiral a potato, dip the potato in a batter mixture and deep fry then you could have any flavouring added to it. We had a plain salt and a hot n’ spicy, but you could have had cheese, vinegar, vanilla sugar, even chocolate (you know I am a chocoholic but I couldn’t quite get my head around a chocolate flavoured potato)!
Bikes featured heavily at the festival, with pro riders, BMX riders and some quite impressive motorbike stunts which we enjoyed watching whilst sat on a hill.
Unlike the last weekend, we were not fooled by the cloudy grey sky and slopped on the suntan lotion, which was good because like last weekend the sun and the wind came out in the afternoon.
It was a nice afternoon, even if I had the sniffles (aww...) which was rounded off by a hotdog BBQ, and an evening spent trying to fix the mouse on the computer as it had stopped moving only to realise half an hour later that actually the whole computer had crashed and the screen was frozen (noticed only because the clock on the screen had not changed).
