Kylie Conquers!

 At times the rain teemed down but it didn't dampen the spirits of a few hundred thousand people who lined Oxford Street for the 2012 Sydney Mardi Gras. And the Queen of the show was definitely Kylie Minogue with a four float tribute surrounded by over 150 dancers. Tonight the party rages on at Fox Studios and by Sunday afternoon Darlinghurst will be littered with sequins, lost stilettos and collapsed bodies.

what is this man doing ?

In Hyde Park near Whitlam Square. Just at the beginning of the Golden Gay Mile of Oxford Street.

It's a statue of  Captain Cook donated to Sydney by the good folk of Yorkshire, Cook's birthplace.
