This young group from Kyabram and Tongala made their debut at St Patrick’s Debutante Ball in the Tongala Shire Hall in 1990, 30 years ago.
The debutantes entered the stage through a lovely garden setting featuring a pine gazebo.
The debutantes and their partners were preceded by flower girls Amanda Elliott and Ainsley Thorson and page boy Joshua Finn.
They were presented to Monsignor Murphy from the Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish in Bendigo.
