We started the walk at 12pm at Federation Square, one of Melbourne’s popular meeting places and we had around 50 people recorded during the walk as having attend. We may have missed some as it was a huge group.

PART 1:

Photowalk starts @ Federation Square at 12pm SUNDAY 11 MARCH outside ACMI. We went up the popular Hosier Lane which is famous for its amazing graffiti art and then did a 2.1 km walk up to the State Library.

PART 2:

We all then went to have a big catchup at a new cool cafe/bar at 4pm at “N” Satay Bar, 296 Russell Street, Melb (behind Victorian State Library) on 2nd floor.

It was exclusive to the Melbourne Igers. Cheers to @ading1 for booking the venue. The food and service was fantastic!

There was a Prize!

The G-Street Photo Competition by G-Technology sponsored the Melbourne Instameet. All images taken on the Instameet and tagged  #GSTREETPHOTO (see gallery) will be in the running to win a $100 iTunes gift card. @igersmelbourne and @mishobaranovic will select and the winner today.

The feedback was that everybody loved the day and that they also loved meeting lots of new people. We had many new people on the walk and of course the regulars.

Misho (Michael) and I organised the walk with help from @ading1 (Ading) venue organiser and @illestinc (Anthony) who posted on the meetup.com site.  Thanks to this great team, we had really a great day!
