Image Caption	May 26, 2007.Move of the Big Merino ram in Goulburn, NSW. Riggers watch The Big Merino tourist attraction moving down the Hume Highway to its new location just south of Goulburn. It took nearly two hours to transport the 96-tonne, 15-metre high, 18-metre long cement and mesh sheep landmark 800 metres on a 96-wheel trailer. The Big Merino is one of an estimated 146 "Big Things" throughout Australia - a list which includes such oversized figures as The Big Prawn at Ballina, The Big Pineapple at Gympie and The Big Mallee Bull at Swan Hill.
