Happy Wall Wednesday to all.

This Australian Shelduck a symbol for the small town of Dumbleyung in Western Australia. It appears in a number of places throughout the town, although I have no idea why this symbol is used here.

The town has a population of about 300 and is famed as the place where Donald Campbell broke the world water speed record on 31st December 1964, his boat "Bluebird" reaching 276.33 mph (444.71 km/h) on the nearby Lake Dumbleyung. He thus became the only person to break the land and water speed records in the same calendar year.

The fine picture above was taken by Mrs Much Younger (and Far More Attractive) Owl, and has been used here with her permission
