This morning, by request, I made a detour on my way to work to get a photo of the hugely popular Fatso, the fat arsed wombat. Created by Roy And H.G. on the show “The Dream” broadcast in Australia for the 2000 Olympics, Fatso was loved by Australians and Australian athletes more than the official Olympic mascots Syd, Millie and Ollie.
It is quite hard to get a reasonable photo in the drizzle and overcast weather, so I may yet venture out for another crack at photographing this Aussie icon.
