• Most weekday afternoons and evenings will provide a number of buskers in the Bourke Street Mall
• Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Southgate will usually provide a number of performers
• Watch out for Bernadette - the accordion player - near Freshwater Place on various days
• The Balloon Man in the Bourke Street Mall and Queen Victoria Market, twisting his happy balloons whilst quietly spreading his philosophy of doom and despair.
