Giant Murray Cod

Standing tall in Swan Hill, Giant Murray Cod celebrates the local seafood industry in spectacular fashion. 15m long, 5.2m wide, 1992 film prop. This impressive structure has become a beloved landmark in Swan Hill and a symbol of the region's unique character. Big Things are a uniquely Australian phenomenon — oversized sculptures that started in the 1960s as a way to attract tourists and celebrate local industries. Giant Murray Cod continues that tradition beautifully, giving travellers a reason to stop, stretch their legs, and appreciate the quirky creativity of regional Australia. Whether you're on a family road trip, ticking off your Big Things bucket list, or just passing through Victoria and looking for a memorable photo op, this is a stop you won't regret. It's free to visit, easy to access, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. You can find it at coordinates -35.33, 143.55 — just punch those into your GPS and you're sorted. Jump out, grab a photo, and add the stamp to your Passport. Open all year round. 📸
