Aust. Day Plans Ignore Rain
Organisers of Australia Day procession are stepping up final arrangements for Monday, and are ignoring rain possibilities.
“We are confident the procession will take place,” the Secretary of the Australia Day Celebration Committee (Mr. W. Murphy) said today.
“The final decision will not be made until Monday morning,” he said. “Should there be any change in plans, it will be broadcast over all radio stations.
Plans have been made for one of the city’s most colourful processions. “There will be plenty of colour and music,” Mr. Murphy said today.
The 2/14th Queensland Mounted Infantry Band will make its first public appearance. Six brass bands, including Northern Command and R.A.A.F., and eight pipe bands, will march.
