A sea of yellow

The Great Barwon Heads Duck Race will be run and won on Easter Saturday.

Imagine 1200 yellow ducks being dropped from Barwon Heads Bridge and floating down to Ozone jetty.

You can get in on the action by buying a duck and going into the race to win prizes.

All ducks are numbered and at the end of each race they are washed and packed away by the organiser, Ocean Grove Rotary, for use again the following year.

Prizes are awarded to the first 10 placegetters and there are random prizes selected midrace from the raft of ducks. Charities supported are the Barwon Heads Primary School, Barwon Heads Scouts, Barwon Heads Association and Ocean Grove Rotary.

The Rotary Club will include the funds in their annual distribution.

Ducks can be purchased for $10 via Eventbrite – search for The Great Barwon Heads Duck Race 2022.
