Cuba Street Carnival: Friday Night

The 'Real Hot Bitches' dance troupe proved to be an interesting photo opportunity - they were doing some sort of demo for TV in Cuba St, in preparation for a record breaking synchronised dance stunt on Saturday night.

10 - the grand finale, juggling knives on a one wheeled bike, and (seconds later) coming straight for me... it was a little unnerving...
