Aust. Day Procession “Biggest Yet”

The postponed Australia Day procession and sports to be held on Saturday had not suffered because of the postponement, the secretary of the Australia Day Celebrations Committee (Mr. W. Murphy) said today.

The committee was still confident that it would be Brisbane’s biggest procession, he said. There have been a few alterations to the original programme, which was cancelled on January 29 because of rain.

The procession will have the same features, and no floats have been taken out. It will leave George Street, City, at 2 p.m. for the Exhibition oval.

The chief marshal (Mr. Arthur Laurie) will assemble the procession in George Street and streets off it at 1.1.5 p.m. The mile-long parade will travel through trafficless Queen, Wickham and Brunswick Streets and Gregory Terrace to the Exhibition Grounds.

Admission to the oval will be free for a sports carnival to begin at
