What a Day it was
The Great Essendon Rotary Duck Race
March the 1st was mildly overcast as the crowds gathered to watch the Rotary Club of Essendon's second year of the Duck Race on the Maribyrnong River. There was an air of excitement and various volunteer organisations including SES, Ambulance Victoria and the Strathmore Men's Shed exhibited their skills with backdrop music from the Hobsons Bay Band.
With the tide coming in from the South the planned start line in front of the Boathouse Restaurant was changed last minute to the Rowing Club end, because of a steady Northerly breeze down the river. There was a flurry of bright yellow and purple ducks racing down the lane loosely constrained by pool noodles and accompanied by a team of canoes to make sure none escaped from the course.
