Photograph, Eltham Community Festival Parade, 12 November 1988, 12/11/1988
[from a contemporary report:] In 1988 the assembly point for the Parade changed from previous years from Cecil Street to Youth Road behind the Eltham Station for the start of the parade at 12.00. The Shire of Eltham Historical Society's float in the Eltham Community Festival Parade won the award for the best display for the second year running. We received a trophy donated by the Billabong Family Bistro, Lower Plenty. The theme of the float was the Eltham Bush Nursing Hospital. The float was prepared by Bruce Ness with some help from other members. A number of members contributed with costumes and other props. Hospital equipment was kindly loaned by the Judge Book Village and in what has become something of a tradition, members of the Victorian Folk Music Club accompanied the Society for the Parade. Their music was again a welcome addition to the float.Colour photographeltham festival, shire of eltham historical society, sue law, doug orford, russell yeoman, 1988, main road -

Joh Ebeli and Russell Yeoman set up further items on the trailer loaned by Denis McKay. An important part of the event was the members who came along in their “old gear” to complete the picture. As usual musicians from the Victorian Folk Music Club helped us out with their lively music.Gold coloured plastic cup with two handles on brown wooden base with inscription on metal plaqueEltham Festival 1987 Annual Parade Best Display Proudly sponsored by Billabong Family Bistro Lower Plentyaward, billabong family bistro, eltham community festival, eltham festival, lower plenty, trophy, shire of eltham historical society, eltham district historical society, victorian folk music club, 1987, joh ebeli, russell yeoman, bruce ness, denis mckay -
