Situated at Kimba, half way across Australia, the Big Galah was built by Roger Venning and family. It is eight metres high, two and a half metres wide and weighs over two tonnes. It is constructed of steel, high tension bird wire, fibreglass and gel coated and was erected in July 1993.
This great stop for the whole family also features a bakery with seating available and fully air conditioned show room hosting; local jade, opals, iron-ore, semi precious stones and various gems. You can also purchase souvenirs, specialty gift lines, Quandong products including unique jams, chutneys and relishes.
