Big Merino

The world’s biggest merino is a three-storey structure of concrete and steel measuring 15.2 metres high and 18 metres long.

This monument was built in 1985 as a celebration of the Goulburn and surrounding district’s fine wool industry. It is an impressive life-like model of Rambo, a stud ram from the local property ‘Bullamallita’.

This unique ‘big’ attraction is located just off Goulburn’s southern exit and stands proud as a symbol of Goulburn – ‘the Fine Wool Capital of the World’. The Big Merino houses a permanent exhibition on the 200-year history of wool in Australia.

The gift shop displays an extensive range of lightweight wool garments as well as a great selection of pure merino and luxurious possum merino knitwear, knitting yarn and Australian-made sheepskins. They also stock cosmetics, lanolin products and souvenirs. The Big Merino gift shop is now considered to have one of the best selection of wool products in Australia.
