The recent Federation Parade was the biggest, most spectacular parade ever seen in Australia. With 6,500 people and giant, majestic floats, the parade told the story of our past 100 years acknowledging our significant historic and momentous achievements and highlight the challenges we have faced. It reflected the importance of why we are celebrating our Centenary of Federation collaborating the past, present and the future. 

  The design was based on the concept of a series of federation arches, firstly a Coal Arch carried by small propelled vehicles, consisting of a large flexible frame constructed from PVC Pipe and large lumps of ‘coal’ constructed from polystyrene dipped in resin and costumes based on an Industrial theme with hard hats. Secondly an Energy Arch based on a similar design covered with smooth nylon fabric, a large PVC Propeller shaped like a wind turbine, all painted white. Costumes for the energy theme will include small backpacks with PVC Propellers, white skivvies and long white trousers.
