Sydney's 2017 Mardi Gras parade saw off the threatening rain and was headed out by the First Nations Float after a smoking ceremony by Uncle Max Dulumunmun Harrison at Hyde Park.
Here are some photos of the parade, with a focus on the First Nations float but also with a few other general shots of the festivities.
The after party at Bar Cleveland was hosted by Nana Miss Koori and featured the Dreamtime Divas (Nova Gina and Lasey Dunaman) and Black Pearl.
