Australia likes Easter. A lot. The local papers are filled with announcements about Easter parades, Easter bonnet workshops (seriously - I think it's a national requirement that all children must make at least 1 Easter bonnet and then be paraded around, generally to their great embarrassment), Easter chocolate raffles (which replace the more typical meat tray raffles), Easter brunches, etc. So I'm scanning through all these wonderful Easter activities, and stumble across this:
A week later, it was followed by this:
It was part of a celebration for the bicentennial anniversary of Governor Macquarie. No place like a cemetery to celebrate an anniversary! Along with crematorium tours and hearse-rides, the open day also featured a colonial costume parade. Oh yeah, and a stations of the cross service. You know – all those normal anniversary celebration activities. Unfortunately, Ben and I were unable to make it.
