It may have rained, it may have poured, but it didn't stop anyone from getting their skate on at the opening night of the Sydney Winter Festival. The forecourt of St Mary's Cathedral has been transformed into a Winter Playground with an outdoor ice rink taking pride of place. Not even the winter rain could stop the enthusiastic crowds from hitting the ice last night as skaters flocked to the rink in rain ponchos. I even spotted one little kid who was not to be detrred and decided to skate around while holding an umbrella over his head!
As with all good festivals there's plenty of delicious food and drink to indugle in, including some yummy mulled wine was a crowd favourite last night. There's a petting zoo for the kids and for the romantics in Sydney, the chance to cuddle up under a big screen showing movies each night.
Head to the image gallery to see pics from last night's festival launch. The Sydney Winter Festvial runs until Sunday 21 June to hop to it and get your skates on!
