You never forget your first sighting of Fitzroy's legendary Carrot Man - a Melbourne institution who's devoted his days to lugging around a giant Paper Mache carrot. for the sole purpose of bringing merriment.

I often wonder if he gets tired walking all over town and if he sometimes wishes that the carrot could carry him for a bit.

Tommy Dassalo for the Sure Store.

Peep some pics from the launch night on the blog.
