Each horse took 300 hours to restore, with intricate carving, coating, filling, sanding, smoothing, painting and varnishing.Colour image showing a man in a suit on a carousel horse.merry go-round, horses, carousel, geelong, restoration, rides, j. j. miller, geelong waterfront, michael crutchfield, steam engine, katrina lawrence, opening, 35mm colour transparency, steampacket place development board, city of greater geelong, revitalisation, celebration, event, armitage-herschell, geelong memorial brass band
