Tourist Guide

One person dragon from the Bendigo Easter Parade (2013).  One of many traditional chinese dragons on the march in this long parade each Easter Sunday.  It's a reminder of the town's gold-rush past when many chinese migrants worked in local gold mines.
Bendigo Easter Sunday Parade (2013).  The Easter street parade seems go on enjoyably forever and features as a climax the world's longest imperial dragon.  It takes over 100 people to operate it.  This picture show one of many smaller dragons interspersed through the parade.
