CBD (Docklands) - BIG Conger Eel

Posted by the on

BIG Conger Eel one of 72 BIG Fish of Victoria created by Motherworks for the 2006 Commonwealth Games

One of seventy-two large aquatic sea creatures created by MotherWorks for the opening ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games. 

For every country that competed in the Games an aquatic sea creature, native to that country was created and floated across 36 barges down the Yarra River in an amazing sound and light display

After the Commonwealth Games concluded 62 of the sculptures were offered to councils through out Victoria to boost tourism. Many of the sculptures found permanent homes and sadly, since the sculptures weren't designed for the outdoor elements, between the Yarra River and councils placing them outdoors, many sculptures perished.

The BIG Batray is 1/4 found in a lane beside the Degani World Trade Centre hosting another 3 BIG Fish and is native to Guernsey
