my favourite Pelican

Sunday challenge... Eyes
Noosa River, Queensland, Australia
1970’s - Built circa 1977 in Noosa Council's workshop for Rotoract as a float for the Festival of the Waters Parade. The Pelican was an appropriate choice for a float as it was the emblem of Noosa Council (It was later changed to the Boronia). The Big Pelican featured on post cards and other tourist material as ‘Percy the Pelican’ thought to be named after Mr Percival from the motion picture ‘Storm Boy’......
2007 – Agreement with Noosa Council for a permanent location in the foreshore park in front of Pelican Boat Hire. Pelican Boat Hire agreed to complete a full restoration of the structure with a fence and garden.
