Sydney Zombie Fest on Halloween

I've been going to a lot of activities organised by the Travel, Food and Wine Meetup and on Oct. 29 I joined them at the Sydney Food and Wine Festival at Hyde Park. While the wine and food was tasty - and expensive considering the quantity given for what you paid - it was hard to miss that there were a lot of people walking through Hyde Park looking like they should be in a Michael Jackson Thriller video.

After a few inquiries I find out that there's a Sydney Zombie Walk. What this? Well if you Google it, you'll find out that it originated in California and it's a bi-annual fundraiser but mostly it appears to just to be an occasion to dress up like you're a victim of the latest vampire or horror film and parade around the city (Sydney Police blockade the streets to let hundreds of people walk through the city). How bizarre is this!



Later that evening I checked out this Halloween Party at The Argyle (evidently the largest in Australia). Here's the "Post-it Man".
