HISTORY

These bullocks are pulling the Armstrong Gun and are the entry from the Hastings-Western Port Historical Society in the annual Hastings Day parade. This gun was one of four, 40 pound guns which came to Hastings in the 1890s because of the perceived Russian invasion threat. This Western Port Festival is held annually on the last weekend in February.
