The Big Merino
The Big Merino is a 15-metre tall concrete merino ram, located in Goulburn, Nicknamed "Rambo" by locals.
The Big Merino was officially opened on 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. On 26 May 2007, the Big Merino was moved to a location closer to the Hume Highway to increase visitor numbers and is now located near the freeway interchange at a service station.

Goulburn is a 2 hour drive from my home, we went there to have lunch with my Stepson and his girlfriend who live in Canberra. So over the coming days I will show a little bit more of Goulburn.
