Scores enjoy St Philip Carnival

EVEN AMIDST the threat of early morning showers, the annual St Philip Carnival still proved to be a blast for many today

The jump-up, which was said to have started behind schedule, began at Marley Vale and culminated at King George V Park, delighting spectators along the route.

Bystanders who soaked up the pulsating rhythms and loud beats of the first band – The Eastern Youths – told NATION NEWS this year seemed a bit low-key and boring.

However, as time passed on things got livelier and a scorching sun revealed its face for the remainder of the day. (MR)
