Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday January 26 to Monday February 1, 2010.

This week.. The BBQ gets a good scraping and a rub down with a lemon (I know a certain venue where that'll cost you a pretty penny, but that's neither here nor there) as Melbourne celebrates Australia Day with a range of events about town that include the free Share The Spirit Festival at Treasury Gardens.

There's also the return of the St Jerome Laneway Festival, held at its new location of Footscray Arts Centre. While it may not be the tucked away little gem that it was, and while the St Jerome Footscray Arts Centre Festival may not have the same ring - hence the lack of name change- the festival remains one of the bright sparks that celebrates independent arts, music and everything else that's 'nifty', as the kids no longer say.

Melbourne Trivia
A Wheelie Big Deal!
The world record for the largest human wheelbarrow race was broken in 2008 on September 9th when Melbourne's own Carey Baptist Grammar School in Kew set out to break the previous record that had been held by a high school in Singapore.

Aside from breaking the Guinness World record for the largest number of participants with a staggering number of 1,044 people, one pair of students decided to take it further and managed to break a second world record that day, also breaking the record for the fastest time in a 50-metre Human Wheelbarrow Race by making the distance in just 14.87 seconds.
