Sydney Harbour Bridge reopens after 90,000 march in pro-Palestinian rally (www.abc.net.au)

The rally in Melbourne hasn't gotten much coverage because of Sydney, but it is mentioned here. They clIm 3000 attended but that's way off, it was easily 25-40,000 (some estimates I've seen go as high as 50k). The march stretched down most of Bourke St and I couldn't see the start or end of it.

300k was the organiser estimate for Sydney which is about 5-6% of the city.
