The Maldon Orchestra is reimagining the music of the Victorian Gold Rush.

Back to Porcupine Flat is a composition about some miners heading back to Porcupine Flat just outside of Maldon to continue digging for gold. The diggers had a tough time on the goldfields and despite the possible reward of finding gold there were also many difficulties faced by the miners.

Back to Porcupine Flat is a tribute to the miners who kept going back to work their claims as hard as life on the goldfields was.

This is an original composition by The Maldon Orchestra. Performed by The Maldon Orchestra. Recorded at Maldon Victoria. Image by ST Gill, early goldfields artist. Composition and Recording © Copyright by The Maldon Orchestra.

The parade was a success again this year thanks to the hard work of the Maldon Easter Fair organisers.

Many imaginative, fun and though provoking floats and entries entertained the street which was packed with people watching.

Here are some photos that were shared to Instagram of the parade.
