It is one of the largest and longest carnivals in Australia, and the largest completely free community festival in Australia, which is organized by the Melbourne municipal government.

Moomba is a word from Australian aborigines, which means "Let's get together and play". Mumba Festival is actually a joyful theme activity, with various amusement equipment theme activities, the most famous of which is water performance.

Since Chinese Governor JOHNSO came to power, various activities in Melbourne have become more and more prosperous, and so has Mumba. On this day, there will be large and medium-sized fireworks displays. On the third day, there was a shocking parade. On Mumba Fast Day in Melbourne, the streets and lanes are full of swaying floats and various performances, the most popular of which is the scene of overseas Chinese performing dragon dances.

Melbourne Horse Racing Festival Melbourne Union Horse is the most famous horse racing club in Australia, which was founded in 186 1, and is called "the race that holds the breath of the whole country" in Australia. This race is open to thoroughbred horses aged three or above, with a distance of 3,200 meters. It is the most influential two-mile race in the world.

It is held on the first Tuesday of June 165438+ 10 in Melbourne. This day is a public holiday in Melbourne. On the day of the race, there are actually about 10 horse races in the same venue, each race is 30 minutes apart, and Melbourne Cup is one of them (usually the seventh race).

Every year, on the last Saturday of September (or the first Saturday of June 5438+ 10), Melbourne hosts an Australian football match, which seems to be a masterpiece of the Australian sports industry! Therefore, the government immediately decided to make Friday the day before the final a national holiday.

Sydney-Hobert Regatta is considered as one of the most difficult races in the world and the largest regatta in the vast ocean, with a history of 765,438+0 years.

Because it is close to the South Pole, where the sea water is cold, and because of its unique natural conditions, unpredictable hurricanes often appear at sea level, which can change from calm to huge waves in a short time. Before reaching the finish line, Hurricane Bay and Dayut Estuary were out of control, so people called it "the most difficult international ocean-going international competition in the southern hemisphere". The whole journey is about 1, 170km (in the 628 Sea), passing through bass strait along the west coast of Australia, and will reach the destination Hobart, Tasmania.

Of course, there are not only these unique festivals in Australia, but also many other different types of festivals, in which international students can participate and experience different Australian customs.
