The Crave Food Festival kicked off this past weekend, starting with Breakfast on the Bridge. An opportunity for thousands in and around Sydney to have a picnic on the infamous Sydney Harbour Bridge. It reminded me in part of the claiming back of road spaces as green spaces, such as has taken place in NYC's Time Square neighbourhood of late.

The bridge was closed to traffic and covered in turf for the event. But that's just the start. The three week fest includes <a href="http://www.cravesydneyfoodfestival.com.au/cmspage.php?intid=387&amp;linkid=425">night noodle markets</a>, two-day <a href="http://www.cravesydneyfoodfestival.com.au/cmspage.php?intid=395&amp;linkid=427">world chef showcases</a> with some of the finest chef's as well as a chance to <a href="http://www.cravesydneyfoodfestival.com.au/cmspage.php?intid=393&amp;linkid=417">sample</a> emu, roo and crocodile meats.

I am in love with the country flags made out of food that adorn the Crave Festival website - they are done so very well and look tasty!
