The parade was so much fun and purely by accident I landed myself in a prime photographic position :)
Yay for Mary Poppins!
By the way if you are wondering about the connection between Maryborough and Mary Poppins,
I'll let wiki explain,
"Maryborough is the birthplace of P.L.Travers, author of the Mary Poppins books, who moved to Bowral at age eight. Her father managed a bank in the building where she was born. This is in the centre of town and still in use, no longer as a bank but as a retail shop. A life-size bronze statue of Mary Poppins, as P.L. Travers described her, complete with umbrella was erected outside the old bank premises in 2005. It is now one of Maryborough's most famous and photographed icons".
The funny thing is that I never saw the statue, I guess there was just too many people around!
