The Big Rainbow

The famous Fremantle ‘Containbow’ is made up of nine shipping containers and painted in rainbow colours to create the Big Rainbow Sea Container. It towers over us at 9 metres high, 19 metres long and weighing in at 66 tonnes.

I was the uber driver for my wife today as her car had to be repaired. this morning this was a solid line of cars and semis both brides to get to north fremantle at a crawl. A truck hauling two sea containers like above rolled over blocking both lanes . traffic was reduced to a crawl 20min trip blew out to 1h 20m. I was able to come back early for the pick up to get these three displays.

On my trip back from north Fremantle after dropping my wife at work there was a solid line of trucks for miles trying to get into North Fremantle container area.

It is quite imposing to stand under when you are aware of the size of those shipping containers. Its no shrinking violet but some thing that is quite over powering.

I can think of easier ways to make a rainbow BUT this is to the max when you stand under them. A huge statement.
