About
Goulburn's mighty 15.2-metre merino ram is a wool legend of epic proportions! Built from concrete in 1985 and weighing a whopping 97 tonnes--equivalent to 15 elephants--this 7-storey tall roadside attraction stands as a monument to two centuries of Australian wool history. The Big Merino is modelled after Rambo, a champion stud ram, and you can actually climb inside this hollow giant and peek out through the ram's eyes to catch the surrounding countryside. At ground level, there's a fascinating wool museum celebrating the region's pastoral heritage. This NSW Big Thing has become an unmissable stop on road trips through the Southern Highlands, perfectly positioned as a quirky attraction celebrating rural Australian industry and innovation.
