September
The end of September (and the AFL grand final) signals the end of rugging up on
weekends and the start of sunny days.
AFL Grand Final
It's not easy to get a ticket to the AFL grand final (
www.afl.com.au
)
, but it's not hard to get
your share of finals fever anywhere in Melbourne. Pubs put on big screens and barbecues
(often accompanied by a spot of street kick-to-kick at half-time).
Melbourne Fringe Festival
The Fringe (
www.melbournefringe.com.au
)
has gone from alternative to relatively main-
stream without losing its edge. It showcases experimental theatre, music and visual arts.
Royal Melbourne Show
The country comes to town for this school-holiday fair (
www.royalshow.com.au
), where
carnival rides and junk-filled showbags face off against traditional farming exhibits.
Rutherglen Wine Show
The late-September Rutherglen Wine Show brings the chance to sample top wines and
gourmet dishes in what is arguably Victoria's premier wine-growing region. (
