DETAILS

TitlePetrie Mill entered two floats in the 1971 Mardi-Gras of the PinesDescriptionOne of the floats displayed stages of raw material used by the Mill, from trees to chips to pulp. This float was manned by two forestry workers in full rig, including chain saws. The remaining float was a wastepaper collection compactor. It had been staged for this vehicle to be last in the procession. When it passed the viewing platform the back was tipped and to the delight of all, hundreds of balloons spilled over the roadway.Date1971PhotographerAustralian Paper ManufacturersCollectorAustralian Paper ManufacturersRecord typePhotographFormat typeDigitalOriginal format colourBlack and white
