Melbourne, Australia: Over 450,000 people march in Melbourne for the World Wide Rally for Freedom. Simultaneously, HUGE rallies were held in Sydney NSW, Brisbane QLD, Cairns QLD, Adelaide SA, Perth WA and other towns and cities across Australia!
EDIT: The most reasonable estimate is about 200,000 to 300,000 people, which is MASSIVE for Melbourne. I dunno how Topher Field got 450,000 but I'm hopeful it was by some other reasonable means!

You're right actually, I'm doing some calculations with MapChecking.com. The maximum coverage of 80,000sqm at the maximum 5 person per sqm can't go much higher than a crowd of 400,000, and those are unrealistic parameters that don't match aerial footage.
The most reasonable estimate is about 200,000 to 300,000 people, which is MASSIVE for Melbourne. I dunno how Topher Field got 450,000 but I'm hopeful it was by some other reasonable means!
EDIT: Links and description cleaned up. Note that people were coming in and out halfway through during a long seven-hour day.

Map checking showing the upper bound absolute maximum of 410,000 (Extremely optimistic and unrealistic)

Map checking showing a local capacity of 200,000 (realistic lower-bound estimate)

The drone guy told me using the software it was definitely over 300,000.
I filmed for 2 hrs on Bourke Street Mall today. By far double last week's time.
Let's double it again for next week!
