Disruption on Melbourne’s streets continues into its third day as police try to contain demonstrators protesting against the Land Wars expo at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

After violent clashes on Sept. 11, police extended the blockade outside the expo, putting water-filled bollards on the northern section of the Spencer Street bridge.
