Leongatha Daffodil and Floral Show
Mr D O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (09:38): Spring is here, and in beautiful Leongatha it is always heralded by the daffodil festival, which was back bigger and better this year after pandemic disruptions. Congratulations to Clare Williams, the Leongatha chamber of commerce and all other organisers for capitalising on the festival with the cleverly named Leon ‘Gather’ Street Festival on Saturday. Glorious sunny weather, the subsiding of the pandemic and a great offering of stalls, entertainment and local shops brought thousands of people out for a fantastic day. Bair Street was chock-a-block full of people, particularly families and children, who seemed to be craving the opportunity to get out and mingle in a crowd.
