Lancing Bagnall Tug
A few weeks ago I had a quick trip to the Royal Geelong Show, for some Corgi showing. During a break in the show, and the rain, I managed to escape and look a the machinery exhibits. This Lancing Bagnall tractor / tug was a bit different to the steam, oil and traction engines on display.

Geelong Mime from Behind
Seeing the back of the Geelong Mime bollard makes it worth going back and looking at the front again. The mime is holding a ticket “Admit 1 February 14th”. Looking at the front, you can see that the mime has a broken heart and appears to be crying. The bollard also has one of the many bollard bunnies, a feature of this great outdoor artwork.

Three Wooden Men
Ian MacDonald, Engineer and Surveyor for the City of Geelong, he designed the Eastern Beach complex. He holds the rolled-up plans. A very chunky, and casually attired me in the middle. On the right is Robert de Bruce Johnstone, three-times Mayor of Geelong and Geelong MLA for 13 years.

Geelong Cinema Attendant
The cinema attendant in the Geelong Bollards outdoor artwork by Jan Mitchell. The Joy Ark was a short-lived cinema on the shore and extending into the bay at Geelong’s Eastern Beach, very close to the bollard’s location now.

Geelong Seaplane
Earlier on in the year the CannibalRabbits headed down to Geelong for a model railway show. Of course we had to see the sea before we could come home.
One bit of excitement was the seaplane giving joy flights. VH-UBI is a Cessna 206 Stationair that has been fitted with amphibious floats. Bay City Seaplanes [^] take tourists around Corio Bay and out as far as the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. Now that would be an amazing way to see the coast!
