Sydney's 45th Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade

Tonight is the night for the grand Mardi Gras parade. I'm not attending but for several years I did. It was always a spectacular event and I daresay tonight's may surpass all previous. Our Prime Minister is marching, and that's a first.

I've had a busy day cooking and by the time I was done I thought I wouldn't have to go far to get a few pics of some revellers and I was right. My main is a reveller, even though she's not wearing colours or sequins. My two extras are getting right into it.

Happy celebrations in the name of diversity to all.
