Big Bogong Moths

G'day to six colossal Bogong moths that have made their home in Acton's National Museum car park since 2001! These beauties celebrate the Ngunnawal people's extraordinary connection to these annual insect visitors that migrate from across Australia. Cast in concrete and created by artist Jim Williams, these chunky critters are proof that even tiny creatures become icons when made big in Australia. The Big Bogong Moths are unique Big Things that highlight indigenous cultural heritage and ecological significance. Located in Canberra's cultural precinct, these sculptures offer road-trippers a chance to learn about Australian natural history and Aboriginal traditions. The Big Bogong Moths are perfect for any ACT road trip or Big Things Passport adventure, offering a distinctive perspective on Australia's native wildlife and indigenous peoples.
