DUCK FACT FILE:
Did you know that the way ducks have adapted to get some good shut-eye while still keeping a look out for potential danger?
Ducks close one eye in order to put half their brain to sleep while keeping the other eye open and the other half of their brain awake and alert! Mesmerising stuff!
HERE IS ANOTHER FASCINATING DUCK FACT:
At Frankston Promenade in February at The Waterfront Festival and this year there is a new crowd pleaser!
Peninsula Rotary 2.0 will be hosting the Duck Derby, Sponsored by Harbour Frankston, the proceeds will support local community organisations.
On Saturday the Rotary Club will be releasing 1200 numbered rubber duckies into Kananook Creek from the landmark footbridge a and they will race to a collection point at the boat ramp.. Some may go swimmingly and others might go upside down and float upstream being less aerodynamic; who knows! However, it will be worth checking out the place-getters as there are some seriously great prizes!
First duck to be scooped from the line will win a $1000 Karingal Hub shopping voucher. We will have other vouchers to win as well.
