Commonwealth Games Fish

Postby Prue B » Mon 20 Mar 2006 12:59 pm

Did anyone see on the opening the fish on the Yarra river. There were 72 of them each representing one of the nations competing in the games. We are trying to get 2 of them to put on our river one on either side of the bridge. We run an annual fishing comp and think it would be a cool advertisement.

I've caught glimpses of them Prue, but the camera has never stayed on them long enough for me to get a proper idea of what they are like.

I loved the opening ceremony. I thought to take some of the celebrations outside the stadium was a brilliant idea.

They seem to be looking for homes for the 72 sea creatures
