Been out of water for too long...

This is one of many fish that were used for the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in 2006ish.  They were then given to councils around the state, some of which put them on display outside when they weren't originally design for that.  This one and the one at Tooradin have held up better than others.

Apparently the fish at Edenhope is a Bigeye Scad and represented the Country of St Vincent & The Grenadines.
The one at Tooradin is a Dolphinfish and represented Malta...

That is correct.  It was discussed in my Harrow Ride report years ago when someone else told me about them.

A very short ride yesterday as I took my daughter to football.  She rides with me every now and then and wears what was Pocket STocker's Ozstoc jacket.

Thursday night after work I set off for the national rally with a two hourish ride to Lameroo and bunking up at the Lameroo hotel.

Yesterday morning I left Lameroo in the wee hours of the morning, crossed into Victoria under the cover of dark and arrived in Mansfield at about 1445.  I did manage to find some new roads to ride.

Afew of us went up to Mount Buller this morning.  I did my own thing after that and took this one at Merrijig on the way back to Mansfield.

Today I rode out to Kevington before returning to Jamieson and completing the loop around Eildon (put the drone up there), Alexandra, Yarck and Merton (as per maps that were in our rally packs) before checking out the serenity in Bonnie Doon.  Now chillaxing a bit before going to pizza night.
