Big Merino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Merino is a 15 metre tall cement Merino sheep located in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. Nicknamed "Rambo" by locals, the Big Merino contains a gift shop on the ground floor and a wool display on the second floor. Visitors can climb to the top and look out through the Merino's eyes to view the local area. The opening day of the Big Merino was 20 September 1985. In 1992 the Hume Highway bypassed Goulburn, which resulted in a loss of 40 busloads of tourists to the Big Merino complex per day.[1] There is a plan to move the Big Merino to the new Hume Highway.
