Stephen Dearnley founded the Ulysses Riding Club in 1983, a motorcycle club for older riders (40+). Their 2004 national AGM was held right here in this part of Geelong. It is considered a respectable motorcycling club and currently boasts over 29,000 members.
This sculpted bollard is one of the iconic colourful bollards along the Geelong waterfront. These wooden characters depict the fascinating history and development of Geelong. They were created between 1994 and 1999 for the Geelong City Council by Jan Mitchell (1940-2008), who was assisted by carver Pieter Roos and artist John Starr.
