The Joy Ark was firstly a cinema for silent films, and later an entertainment venue and roller-skating rink. Recently a large ferris wheel has taken the place of the Joy Ark, and is usually in operation during the summer months.
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.
