Wayne and Debbie Maxted's Durham Ox family filmed the parade on their farm, planning to send it to their niece and nephew.
It's spread far wider, with family and friends loving the loving but humorous take on Bendigo's annual Easter parade.
The video begins with Wayne and kids marching to the sound of Amazing Grace played from the pipes and drums.
A series of floats follow, with children in tutus dancing on the back of a ute to the strains of High School Musical.
Next their pet lambs take centre stage, dressed in their finest.
Sporting, gymnastic and dirt bike displays follow.
You might even catch a glimpse of a fire truck.
Mr Maxted said the family always took the kids to the Easter Fair, with their younger cousins.
The idea for a video started small, just something to send to the cousins.
They've sent it far further, and everyone's loved it.
"We just intended it for a bit of fun for our family, and some friends," Mr Maxted said.
"We're all right into Easter, and we love the Easter parade. Everyone was so positive with it.
"Our intention was to make people smile."
