Bollard Sculptures - Geelong - Day 2

Day 2 of the Geelong bollard sculptures and if anyone didn't see yesterday's photo here is a description of the bollards.

They are the creation of Geelong artist Jan Mitchell. The bollards which can be found along the waterfront have become an icon of Geelong.

There are over 100 bollards stretching along the waterfront area and are made out of huge wooden pylons. The wood was first sculpted and then hand painted. The bollards depict many of the events and history of the Geelong region.

Sadly Jan Mitchell is no longer with us, she died of cancer on St Patrick's Day 2008 age 68

@terryliv You could be right Terry, but I don't think there is too much inbreeding they only have one head each.
