Shows the familiar orators on the banks of the Yarra on a typical Sunday afternoon in Melbourne. Using still photographs, plus an actual sound recording of the orator and the interjections of the crowd, it provides an interesting glimpse of the orator and the people who gather round him. Photographer: Barrie Bell.
