The Big Merino
Now here’s something you don’t see every day. It’s called the Big Merino, and it’s in a wee town called Goulburn, which is between Sydney and Canberra.
Apparently, he’s made from concrete, and is about 15 metres tall.
You want more? Okay, you can climb up inside his belly. It’s dark, but it’s possible. The nice lady in the attached gift shop informed me that you used to be able to climb higher than you can today, and peer out across New South Wales through his eyes.
Not enough I hear you say? Well here’s the stinker: they moved the Big Merino in 2007 because Goulburn was bypassed. He now sits closer to the Hume Highway than he used to so tourists can see him as they whizz past. They put the thing on a lorry, and moved it.
