Ponyfish Island

This guide to Ponyfish Island in Melbourne follows a platform bolted beneath the Southbank footbridge that was never meant to be a bar, and an open question locals still won't settle: whether the pontoon's namesake ponyfish is even real. It traces back to 2010, when a DJ, a festival promoter and a marketing man spotted an unused maintenance platform over the Yarra and decided it should be a bar instead. Ask the bartender about the fish and you'll likely just get a shrug.
