Newsletter | #202 | What's On this Week Newsletter | #202 | What's On this Week

Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday November 16 to 22, 2010.

This week... multicultural celebrations abound yet again with Festivals covering the traditional fares of Nepal, Spain, Poland and even the distant land of Clunes. There's much ado at CERES in East Brunswick, celebrating the Kingfisher and its decision to roost on the fair banks of Merri Creek, and in Berwick you can regale in all things historical with the Timeline Fair showcasing re-enactments from eras as far back as ancient Greece.

For those who are lacking in agility and grace, there's the Klop Championships at Birrarung Marr where they can try their hand at the popular sport from Finland which involves throwing a wooden peg while enjoying free entertainment.

Things also get a tad saucy on the cinematic front with the Sexy International Film Festival bringing some titillation to Melbourne's indie screens with a program of risque shorts, and not the kind worn by those dubious joggers. I swear there was one in Brunswick Street once who put me off dim-sims for years.
