White Night Melbourne 2016

We arrived at White Night Festival in Melbourne proper at the sensible hour of 9 pm.

Our intention was to start our journey at the Exhibition Building, moving on to the State Library for the Indigenous doings and finally landing under Princes Bridge to experience John Phillips and Renn Barkers Electroplasm which was earmarked as a must see by Festival promotors.

Due to the overwhelming crowds and queues our first two destinations were aborted. We did manage to cut our way to Electroplasm which was so spectacular and awe inspiring that I will cover it in another post.

The following images reflect our passing view on our journey through the city.
