the special event
An Unauthorised History of Moomba

1955 – present.

The Annual Melbourne four day Moomba Festival means a lot of things to a lot of people.

Originally it was thought to literally mean “‘let’s get together and have fun”. It doesn’t. It was a prank from indigenous playwright and political activist Bill Onus in part to get back at the city council for having deliberately upstaged the traditional Labour Day march with a popular carnival.
Moomba actually means ‘Up Your Bum’.

A parade of monarchs. A large-scale all in brawl. An overhead projector. Probably only one of these things will appear in:
An Unauthorised History of Moomba.

A one-off special event.
Meticulously researched.
Devoutly crafted.
Completely irreverent.
