Bright Country Carnival
Murrin Bridge Float
Murrin Bridge was very well represented in the
recent Lake Cargelligo Procession.
Prizewinner in the historical section was the very
well arranged “ Assimilation ” float from Murrin Bridge
Mission Station organised and entered by the people
of this Mission Station under the supervision of Mr.
.John Kedmond and Mrs. Redmond-this float showed
the blackfellow of the early days of the habitation of
this country by whites complete with war paint, spears
and boomerang-while other aborigines depicted the
move towards the assimilation of the two colours so
that at the front of the float there were some junior
footballers and followers of other sports, also some not so
dusky folk were entertaining with their dance music
and had quite a few guests. Those on this float decorated
with mountain greenery, etc., included :-
