  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229187911 - the Sun, 29th January, 1951...'This float, representing the growth of music in 50 years of federation was one of the 51 spectacular floats in today's Cavalcade of Jubilee procession. It carried the names of famous Australian musicians and composers...'
  
  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/248511681 - The Daily Telegraph, 30th January, 1951...the names are definitely highbrow...Alfred Hill, Joan Hammond, John Brownlee, Eileen Joyce...looks like Angus didn't get a mention...
  
  The location is of course Macquarie St...with the Treasury Building in the background...
