Adam Oldmeadow 		  Awesome Photograph!
Coincidently I would have been standing only a few hundred meters away from you when you took this. You are right about the heat; I only wore a shirt, shorts and thongs the whole night. I was frustrated that I didn’t have my camera on me, but I couldn’t trust it at an all night party in St. Kilda.
