Photograph - Friends of the Park float, Port Melbourne Festival, Pat Grainger, Feb 1989
This float was created by members of Friends of the Park, a group formed in 1987 against government proposals to turn the railway and reservation into a grand boulevard to service the proposed Sandridge City 'bayside' development. Members worked for months to make the decorations, added to a trailer. During the festival procession sausages were BBQ'd on the trailer and handed out to the crowd. On arrival at Murphy's Reserve all floats were put out of sight, and few saw the results of their efforts.One of 16 photos of Friends of the Park float for the February 1989 Port Melbourne Festival: Float construction at Station Street carport, 88 Ingles Street: ?, Gary Ways (L), Amelia Finch (C), Anne Callaghan(R)celebrations fetes and exhibitions, public action campaigns, anne callaghan, gary, amelia finch, friends of the park, port melbourne festival
