Last weekend was Easter. We did not go away, host family or eats lots of chocolate.

This was the first year we have been in Maldon at Easter so naturally we were curious about the Easter Fair. It is billed as Australia’s oldest Easter Fair. There were numerous events from the Great Scone Bake-Off on Thursday evening, dancing in the street, a Hole-in-One competition at the Golf Club and so on.

But the undoubted highlight was the Grand Parade of Easter Monday morning. We were part of the Maldon Golden Movies (MGM) entry and everyone had a fun time.

Getting ready to go.

I was Dorothy from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and shared the limelight with no less than Marilyn Monroe, Calamity Jane, Taylor Swift, Alfred Hitchcock and Sherlock Holmes.

I made my costume from a doona cover (dress) and tablecloth (blouse) which both came from the op shop along with the red shoes which cost the princely sum of $2.50.

If you want to check out the whole parade you can watch it here. We are from 9:03 – 9:33.
