Christmas Pageant

Unfortunately the photos were taken in the dark and are mostly blurred or poorly lit. Shame really it was an excellent night. They showed it on TV's Channel 7 on Sunday evening. Not as good as being there but still good. The parade is around 2km long and the route is 2.4km so there's plenty to see. Over 3000 people were expected to line the route and despite getting there an hour and a half early we were still 3 rows from the front. Some people set up deck chairs and tables and had eskys (big ice boxes full of food and drink) with them. I expect they had been there since about 6pm (the event started at 8.30pm). We'll know next year!
There were some pre event displays. This is a pic from the Ford Club cars that passed through. There were also Porsche Club cars but the pics don't do justice so not included.

Brum, Fully lit although he looks a bit dull with the quick shutter speed (to avoid blur). Wish I knew a bit more about photography!! This display was about the size of an artic lorry (to give you an idea of size).
Good lookin' guy with two parade kids lookin' for a photo opportunity.
