It's About the Journey Not Just the Destination
Walking through the centre of Canberra we constantly came across statues and other art work. They added some interest to our walks from one place to another and brightened the city up.
We didn’t go out of our way to find them so were happy when we stumbled on them.

Located a 20-minute drive north of Forster-Tuncurry on the New South Wales mid-north coast, the Big Tap is another of Australia’s Big Things that are dotted around the country. We drove along The Lakes Way heading out of Tuncurry. On the way, we passed through what the map called The Big Roundabout. It is a roundabout but is not that big, so we didn’t bother stopping.
The side closest to the Big Tap had a cleared spot where several cars could stop. As it’s located on a farmer’s property you can’t get close, so we viewed it from the fence line.
An interesting attraction and worth stopping to see if you are trying to see Australia’s big things.
Standing 15.2m tall and weighing in at 97 tonnes (50 feet and 95 tons imperial), the Big Marino lives up to its name. Being one of Goulburn’s tourist attractions, he contains a giftshop and wool display. His huge size makes him difficult to miss. Sitting on the Hume Highway means access is easy, along with plenty of parking behind him.
Located near Trapper’s Bakery is a great bonus, because when you finish admiring the big sheep, you can have a great meal there.
This was a fun visit, especially if you are into seeing Big Things.
