No, it is not hand written. It is written in a proper way and it adds to the town. The street names are written on a trout sign and each street has one. The school is very involved and the high school has got really involved in it. It has an expo. The expo runs over the whole weekend. This year I understand they have a trout which will be tagged and there will be a $10,000 prize if the trout is caught and you can produce the tag. So there will be a lot of people fishing along that river and trying to catch that tagged trout and a lot of us will be down along there enjoying this day. Of course, Tasmania, and the great electorate of Lyons, is full of these sorts of days—I can think of St Patrick’s Day at Westbury and of the great championship bike ride at Evandale in February, when the world championship penny farthings take place—where thousands of people come to enjoy great festival days of Tasmania.
