Invasion Day Melbourne rally draws tens of thousands of protesters

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in the CBD for an Invasion Day Melbourne rally.

The crowd at Federation Square - estimated to be up to 50,000 people - is believed to have eclipsed the number of people who attended the nearby Australia Day march along Swanston Street.

The rally has filled Federation Square and spilled onto Flinders and Swanston streets, across to Flinders Street Station. The Invasion Day Melbourne march is one of many being held in capital cities and towns across Australia.

The "invasion day" protests in Sydney also drew a large crowd.
