Lancing Bagnall Tug
A few weeks ago I had a quick trip to the Royal Geelong Show, for some Corgi showing. During a break in the show, and the rain, I managed to escape and look a the machinery exhibits. This Lancing Bagnall tractor / tug was a bit different to the steam, oil and traction engines on display.

Geelong Mime from Behind
Seeing the back of the Geelong Mime bollard makes it worth going back and looking at the front again. The mime is holding a ticket “Admit 1 February 14th”. Looking at the front, you can see that the mime has a broken heart and appears to be crying. The bollard also has one of the many bollard bunnies, a feature of this great outdoor artwork.
