Melbourne: March 17 - 19
During the Commonwealth Games the Yarra River was the site of a major public art display. Each nation in the Commonwealth was represented by a large fish sculpture (these were about 15 feet long). The series of fish formed a long line down the middle of the river. At night, coloured lights and strobe lights played on the fish and fountains mounted on each fish projected streams of dancing waters while music was played from a series of large speakers on the river banks.
