Photographic Group Bollards - Geelong Waterfront, Victoria, AU - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

Geelong families have picnicked on the bay since first settlement.
This family portrait, circa 1917, is being taken in the alcove by the old bluestone wall - notice the pompous yacht-club father and the gap-toothed son.

These sculpted bollards are part 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.
