There is a really cool arts festival / showcase on at the Docklands waterfront between the 6th of March and 20th pf April this year, from what Ive heard its something to check out, Ill be going some time this weekend, a lot of sculptures by prominent Australian artists, I was told that its going to be a lot of fun. The Docklands are just behind Southern Cross Station (on Spencer st in the CBD) and the Telstra Dome (Just behind Southern Cross) you can get there on trams 48 and 70. The show seems to run 7 days a week 8am - 11pm. Check it out.
