This year marks 150 years of caring for children at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH). What better way to celebrate this grand milestone than with a Rainbow Island Float in the Moomba Festival parade.

The design of this colourful moving spectacular was proudly created by children participating in the RCH Art Therapy Program. Art Therapists Tilly Dawson and Alexandra Lederman were closely involved with the Moomba Festival float submissions, where the children had full creative licence with designing, including dance and music in their efforts.

See the Rainbow Island Float in the parade which starts at 10.45am on Monday 9 March. It begins at Birdwood Avenue, meanders through Kings Domain parkland before finishing up on Linlithgow Avenue near Queen Victoria Gardens.

It’s a month to go until cyclists hit the road for the annual Murray to Moyne!
