New And Old Australians On Australia Day Floats
New Australians will follow Queensland aborigines on spectacular floats in Brisbane’s Australia Day procession on Monday.
The New Australians will ride on the Enoggera Holding Centre’s float and the aborigines, from Cherbourg, on the Department of Native Affairs’ float.
The procession will move off from George Street, near Elizabeth Street, at 10 am. All displays will assemble in George Street, and streets off George Street, towards the Botanic Gardens.
The procession will then move down Queen Street, through Wickham Street to the Valley, up Brunswick Street to Gregory Terrace, then down past the Exhibition Ground.
