What is "Momba Day"?
The (Moomba Festival), festival, which originated in the 1950s, is one of the largest and longest carnivals in Australia. It is scheduled for the long weekend holiday of International Labour Day, Australia, in March of each year, during the festival of Momba. There will be four consecutive days of celebration. Momba was originally an aboriginal festival in Australia. In 1955, goverment in Murben formally discussed the preparation of the festival, and gradually developed into a carnival for which Australia is crazy and even the world-famous. The Memba Festival is Australia`s largest free community festival for all people and is hosted by goverment in Murben.
One, the three most important activities that should not be missed
Fireworks display (Fireworks)-the most gorgeous, brightest!
The gaudy fireworks show has been one of the highlights of every year`s Memba Festival, and this year the spectacular show will illuminate the night sky of Melbourne every night during the holiday season! Make an appointment with your friends and go to the banks of the Ara River to enjoy these beautiful fireworks!

2. Bird-Man Rally (Birdman Rally)-the most novel, the most exhilarating!
Bird-Man Rally, a major feature of Momba Festival, is also the unique charm of Momba Festival. In the race of the expert and the laughing egg, the contestants will be dressed in a variety of DIY costumes and aircraft, trying to fly from a high platform to the Yala River to see who flies the farthest.
On the banks of the Ara River, it is a unique experience to watch contestants from all over the world fly into the river in fancy clothes and various kinds of devices.
This year, the birds will be divided into the "hawk group" and "goose group" for the competition!
Eagle group, I want to soar in the sky as soon as I hear this name! So the usual way to get out of the game is to have all sorts of bullies:
There are bamboo dragonflies with their own popular style.
Equipped with a jet power unit.
And bring your own private jet.
Mm-hmm, when you look at it, you`re ready to come.
As for the penguin group, the painting style is relatively strange. Usually it is.
this。 It doesn`t feel like flying seriously at all. All right!
The rally will determine the furthest eagle, the furthest penguin, and a final prize.
Don`t look at the penguin group may generally fly not far, but if it is very pleasant to the audience, there will be additional points oh, so it is really hard to say who will die of the deer!
Want to know what new tricks have been played this time by the Memba Birds? And what new "fresh and out-of-the-box" clothes have been designed? Then go and see for yourself!

This year, with the lessons learned before, Melbourne police will definitely protect the safety of Momba Festival, last year there is a high probability that the chaos will not repeat, but, while we are happy to play, also please always remember the word "safe" in mind!
Remember to stay close to your companions, be careful to walk away, and you can arrange a meeting place in advance!
