Today we went to Melbourne’s very first Brazil Fest which basically turned into a Brazil Feast! 

There is definitely room for improvement being their first festival but it was a good vibe with people in and out all day.

They offered a range of Brazilian beer with a beer garden as well as around 6 food trucks of delicious cultural flavours. 

What was missing though was colour! 

I was excited to see carnival style costumes and dancers but enjoyed drumming, Maracas, go-go bells and whistles.

Melissa - Overall it was a pretty cool date, the food was delicious and being at the Queen Victoria Market, the biggest market in our state, I took the opportunity to buy a new pair of sunglasses. 

David - I would have liked to have seen more. There were Brazilian music and flags but no wow factor. There is a lot to improve on. I would go next year to see its improvements if any.. and to try their mango lemonade.

On the last day of our Echuca Trip I organised a quick visit to the Beer Shed we saw on Sunrise a few months earlier before our trip home. Although David and I aren't drinkers, there were a lot of old bits and bobs prompting memories from our childhoods.
