The anti-war rally in Melbourne

The anti-war rally in Melbourne last night drew over 100,000 people according to one conservative newspaper, and 120,000 according to another. So those numbers are probably not over-estimates. Since the organisers only claimed 200,000, and organisers are usually out by a lot in these things, the evidence suggests there probably were 100-120,000 there. For a city the size of Melbourne, that seems like a lot. Should be interesting to watch more numbers come in from rallies around the world this weekend.
