Today, at the inaugural Duck Derby, we watched 10,000 sponsored yellow rubber duckies released into Claisebrook inlet. Despite the best-laid plans many of them escaped, bobbing down the inlet into the Swan River. We will be finding little numbered yellow duckies along the Swan River banks for quite a long time.

However it was a good chance to meet up briefly with Tristan, Blaine, Jeanette, Tom and Thea:-)
