Numbers were down from previous years I was told but still some interesting outfits & people attended this famous & much loved event in Maryborough Queensland Australia. Some pics & stuff for your enjoyment below

Interesting article below from the Fraser Coast Newspaper where it was said that nice older guys are treated with suspicion . When I was covering this event with my sturdy Olympic hand camera & was videoing some of the patrons of this event in the street it was not appropriate that I was called a paedophile by one of the girls because I was filming the event & the group walking the streets for my web site www.frasercoastcentral.com.au

Sad when a citizen [an older one at that] cannot record an event such as this without some misguided person making comments that tarnish the integrity of the event.

ooo <<<<<<<VIDEO YET TO BE INSERTED HERE

I am just grateful that this is probably a one off incident by a confused individual attending.

Most attendees were certainly a pleasure to praise in them adding colour & vitality to the city of Maryborough Qld

We must make allowances for drunken behaviour so we move on.
