The Charles Hayes Home Movie Collection is a collection of home movies originally made on 8mm and 9.5mm film between the 1940s and 1970s by Charles Edward Hayes (1914–1993). The resulting footage shows us the life of a family living in Heathmont in Melbourne’s south east with their many pets and farm animals, their family holidays and gatherings, their suburb and their cars as well as scenes from Melbourne at the time.
This is an excerpt from Reel 3 showing Melbourne’s Moomba street parade 1964, featuring colourful parade floats, marching girls, musicians and popular personalities of the day. The floats are assembled at the top of Swanston St before they head off for the big parade.
