A black swan on the river

For the Focus on Franklin boat parade on Saturday night, someone ingeniously turned their boat into a black swan, a nice tribute to all the real ones living on the Huon River. The Living Boat Trust put on a sausage sizzle, and with a glass of red and some sparklers in hand, we watched the lit-up boats going up and down the river with Franklin friends and visiting tourists. Some lanterns made by local school kids were lit and sent up into the darkening sky above the river.
