Getting ready to head out the door shortly, looking forward to brunch. Am bringing an umbrella to use as a parasol.

Yes, well, it looks like wind and rain here in Adelaide, and my partner is (in)conveniently away, so my three girls will be coming with me. They’re happy with my reasons for wanting to go along to the rally, but I always feel dubious about children on protest marches. However, not so dubious that I won’t take them with me.

We’ll see how the kids are holding up, too much marching may end in tears – mine no doubt! Not that I’m so very keen on lots of walking in very hot weather either, but at least I won’t whinge and fight with my siblings :P

Okay– the first part of the rally is speeches at Town Hall, then there will be a march through the city, which will loop back around to Town Hall for more speeches and an illegal wedding ceremony.

If anyone doesn’t feel up to marching, I’m sure it would be fine to simply hang out around the Town Hall area while the actual march is on, and to join back up with us afterwards.

Mary, I just sent an email off to the organisers asking them that question — I’ll let you know when/if I hear back from them.

Does anyone know the Sydney rally plans, ie, is it staying at Town Hall? The forecast tomorrow is for fairly hot weather and I’m trying to prepare. There’s probably no preparation that will let me stay standing in direct high afternoon sun though. (I’m well into third trimester pregnancy, it’s heavy and hot going…)

The Perth rally starts at 2pm outside London Court. I might see some of you there.

I'll be going to the Adelaide rally - 11am at Parliament House. If any other Hoydenizens want to join me, drop me a line and we'll arrange a meeting place. I use hotmail, and my handle is dfr141

We’re away this weekend, so I can’t go, damnit.

Have fun, be loud. :)
