There were much-loved teddies of all ages, shapes and designs at Flagstaff Hill last weekend for the annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic. Enjoying a picnic on the lawn were Matthew, Clarice, Lawrence, Adelin and Sharna Dance.

The ‘teddy invasion’ saw hundreds of much-loved teddies enjoy a big day out with their proud owners.

More than 745 visitors from across the district converged on the popular Warrnambool tourist attraction for a fun-filled day of activities.

The annual teddy bear’s picnic attracted a large group of families who were eager to take part in the many activities on offer.

Teddies with seemingly broken limbs, missing eyes or even some well-worn holes took a trip to the ‘hospital’ where they were carefully patched up by the resident ‘nurse.’
