Neon ghosts



I have no idea what this is. It looks like something out of the "Toy Story" movies - a weird mix of human imagination and spare parts. I've never seen it in action though I wouldn't be surprised if it transformed into some sort of cool robot. It's probably an autobot - the decepticons usually went for vehicles with a little more panache.

Today's challenge will be a little different. I took this picture at the Aboriginal Day celebrations on Tuesday. Can you guess what contest is taking place in this shot?
Look carefully at the fire and the people. I'll admit that this isn't my finest effort - I'm not running tomorrow so I'll have a chance to take more photos around town. Until then - good luck. (30 points)

Dave guesses the first to boil water.

My guess is that it's like jenga, where people take turn pulling out a stick and the first person to make the water (i think there is water in that black thing) fall loses...

Tea boiling competition?

Dave was certainly close but it's Marcia who takes the prize. This was indeed a tea boiling contest. The participants had to race for the wood (that can be seen in the background), start the fire and boil the water for tea.
Marcia you now have 100 points! You've moved up in rank and are now in the Junior Gumshoe: Joel Plaskett division.
