The Great Australia Day Duck Race

The third annual Great Australia Day Duck Race was a great success!

In front of a huge crowd duck #00549 crossed the finish line first, winning its owner D Scanlon of Ballarat a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer ES Sportback.

Over 13,000 ducks were adopted for the race!

All profits from the Great Australia Day Duck Race benefit the development of lifesaving activities through Life Saving Victoria.

The Great Australia Day Duck Race is proudly supported by Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd, Parks Victoria, Life Saving Victoria, Westpac and Network Nine.
