The Giant Ram

The Giant Ram is a large fibreglass sculpture located in Wetlands Park in Wagin, Western Australia, about 228 kilometres southeast of Perth. Erected in 1985, the 9-metre-high, 13-metre-long structure commemorates the district's history as a major wool-producing region and the Wagin Woolorama agricultural show. It is one of Australia's well-known 'Big Things' and serves as a prominent roadside landmark and photo attraction for visitors to the Great Southern region.

Visitors can expect an outdoor, free-access fibreglass ram sculpture standing approximately 9 metres high and 13 metres long in the landscaped Wetlands Park on the edge of Wagin town centre. The site is an open parkland with lawns, lake views, picnic areas and walkways. Visitors can walk around the base of the sculpture, take photographs, and explore the surrounding park, playground and lake area. There is no enclosed building or ticketed entry.

Constructed in 1985 by artist Andrew Hickson, the Giant Ram was commissioned to commemorate Wagin's significance as a wool-producing district and the establishment of the Wagin Woolorama, one of Western Australia's largest agricultural shows first held in 1972. The sculpture reflects the town's economic reliance on sheep farming in the 20th century.

The Giant Ram is a cultural landmark symbolising Wagin's identity as a sheep and wool town and is part of Australia's tradition of 'Big Things' roadside attractions. It serves as a community icon and focal point for tourism associated with the annual Wagin Woolorama.
