St George Dragon float in the Credit Union Christmas Pageant through the streets of Adelaide, South Australia.

---

One of the many floats in the Credit Union Christmas Pageant, a South Australian institution and recognised heritage icon that traditionally heralds the start of the Christmas season. From humble beginnings it has grown to be one of the largest and the best pageants of its kind in the world. With the blow from Sir Edward Hayward's whistle (the founder of the pageant) the first Pageant began at 11am on Saturday 18 November 1933 when Australia was recovering from the Great Depression.
