Couple of Australian Landmarks

Both of these are in New South Wales here in Australia.
The large Marino was a first for me and the Dog on the Tuckerbox I have been there before.
But I did enjoy taking both shots.

Interesting pics... what do these landmarks represents? Would be interesting to know the background story for them

Wow, that's one big sheep.

The Big Marino (Marino is a breed of sheep bred for its wool) is in Goulburn, sheep country. The Dog on the Tuckerbox is near Gundagai, about an hour from Goulburn. It's a tourist attraction based on a stone sculpture, it is now set in a major truck/car stop between Sydney and Melbourne. I think the original stone sculpture was based on a poem written in the 19th century. Tucker is the Aboriginal word for food.

Nice one!

I went on a "Big thing" road trip up to Byron a few years back... Some of them are pretty damn awesome!

LOL

I think the wife got her card skimmed at Gouldburn.
But this is not nothing against the actual place as it is a nice area.
It could have happened at anytime and we were there when it happened.

It's got a high security prison and a police training academy. Interesting.

No to sure on what I can say.
But our friends said that it is a big thing and all they need to do these days is walk close by and get your numbers.
Then put them into a computer and have some number running thing and it will at some time come up with the 4 numbers that is needed
for it to work. But we did get the money back with in a fortnight.

We were lucky as we had our grandies with us and our daughter was putting more money into our account for the girls.
And at 10pm the money from her was pending and a couple of hours later she checked again and then noticed the $400 plus missing.
Lucky our bank has a line to call and she did it and the card was taken off line right away.
