Footage of first Sydney Mardi Gras parade unearthed after almost 50 years

He said the crowd grew as it moved through Darlinghurst, in Sydney's inner east, with many spilling out of clubs and bars into the procession.
"A lot of people were just hanging around and joined the parade. [They] didn't know about it, but just on the basis that it was a celebration."

I love this so much. A tiny start with a few people, a banner and a truck turns into a spontaneous party as they meander past the clubs. And look how big it is today!
