Floral Carpets

Over the past couple of days some wonderful photos have been shared on Lost Mildura and Sunraysia featuring the Floral Festivals that were conducted in Mildura over many years. This short piece of STV 8 news footage is from around 1970, where we see carpets being constructed in Deakin Ave opposite the Carnegie Library. We’re unsure if this display was being made for an event connected with the past festivals but it’s interesting seeing how the carpets were put together.

This is ridiculous. I've loved seeing the pictures of the Floral Festival shown here in FB in recent days. And now this little film. Now I'm in tears, it's so lovely to see all those dear dedicated ladies putting the flower pictures together. Thank you.

Just loved the smell as you entered the hall of all those flowers, what a beautiful memory
