Light Horse parade held in Allora

On Saturday 28 May, the Queensland Light Horse Parade was held in Allora to honour 120 years since the Boer War’s end.

The parade was led by Allora Fire and Rescue followed by an Army Bushmaster vehicle from the 12/16th Hunter River Lancers, Warwick Thistle Pipe Band, a second Bushmaster, and a police vehicle.

Locals attended the event alongside people from Brisbane, Warwick, Toowoomba, and surrounding districts.

Councillors Sheryl Windle, Marco Giliori, and Cynthia McDonald took part in the service held at Allora Memorial Park.

The Boer War Monument in Allora is the oldest in Queensland, marking the occasion as even more memorable.
