National pride on parade



By Jodie Symonds

Australia Day in Marysville had it all, including snags, community spirit and budgie smugglers.
The Marysville Australia Day parade brought a sense of pride to the town, as community members strutted their stuff down the street.
Locals and tourists watched as blow up horses worn by the Marysville Polo Club, heritage-listed vehicles, tractors, the Marysville Pool members and even Lightening McQueen from the film Cars brought the community together.
Marysville Pool took out the Best Float award, presented by Australia Day Ambassador Maree Caldow.
Following the parade, the formalities included the Young Citizen of the Year award, which went to Alexandra teenager, Melissa Peart, for her extensive community work.
