This floating soccer pitch is on Cockle Bay at Darling Harbour. The Big Issue Street Football Festival is back for its third year with soccer players from all over Australia competing over 11 days in January. The festival is run by The Big Issue, a not-for-profit organisation that runs programs for homeless and disadvantaged people, such as a street magazine.

ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of visiting your part of the world once, but never saw this. How interesting.
ReplyDeleteDarling Harbour hosts a number of special events like this throughout the year.
DeleteWonder if the movement of the water affects the game.
ReplyDeleteIt was really calm yesterday but I should go back when it's windy. :)
DeleteIt's a very interesting photo. And nice purpose for homeless and disadvantage people. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing Jim. Now I have seen it all. Cheers J.
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time to see this. An interesting place to hold a street football festival -for good reason too.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, from where you captured this shot?
There is a flyover there that carries a road and walkway out of the city.
DeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteHow unique!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

ReplyDeletei wonder if there are bleachers (where you were).:p
There are some wide stairs leading down to the bay, so there were quite a few people sitting there watching the match.
DeleteVery interesting picture!!
