Monbulk Tulip Festival Melbourne 2007



Hi Everyone,



I went to the Monbulk Tulip Festival Melbourne 2007 in Silvan yesterday! In the heart of the Dandenongs!



Here are some of the pics:

It costs 15 bucks to get in for adults. A bit pricey but good fun if you have not been for a while! Don't forget to take the camera!



Here is some info about it:
