| THE QUEEN OF MOOMBA __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moomba is an annual festival in the city of Melbourne, Australia and one of the largest and longest running festivals in Australia. Moomba is celebrated during the Labour Day long weekend (over four days, from Friday to the second Monday in March), and has been celebrated since 1955. In 2003, the event was renamed Melbourne Moomba Waterfest. It is a family festival run by the City of Melbourne Council. The Queen of Moomba was the first to be introduced in 1955. This was followed by the crowning of the first Queen of the Pacific and first King of Moomba in 1967. At times, all three Royals reigned concurrently, but by 1988 this gender-specific system was supplemented by a single representative monarch. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
