We don’t often find ourselves playing minigolf during the early hours of a Saturday morning, though much to our amusement it’s exactly what we found ourselves doing over the weekend. The reason?

Wellingtons were a fashion staple when the Future Music Festival stormed into Melbourne yesterday (literally). A few rainless hours saw festival goers happily enjoying the music and the sunshine, before Franz Ferdinand‘s set was interrupted by a violent change in weather conditions.
