STREETS were lined with young and old, all itching to get the best view of the Healesville 150 Celebration Parade.
It didn’t disappoint, with roughly 800 people taking part.
Kinders, schools, local businesses, community groups and anyone else affiliated with the town marched down the main street of Healesville boasting with pride.
Some dressed up in older styled costumes, others dressed in a party theme.
But the St Brigids School banner well and truly said it all “Healesville is a mighty town”.
We’ll have heaps of photos online, and also a wrap up of all the weekends events in our paper on Tuesday.
