Rambo had always been the star of tourism in Goulburn, situated on the main road into or out of, depending on your direction of travel.
That was, of course, until a bypass was created in Goulburn.
Sadly, due to the bypass, Rambo found himself being completely missed by tourists travelling though the town and Goulburns biggest tourist attraction was no longer receiving the attention he deserved.
So on the 26th of May, 2007 the town moved Rambo from his out of the way, once relevant home, to a once again more prominent spot where tourists and those passing the town couldn’t miss his presence.

Voice is a little dry but it’s an interesting watch
Rambo was the creation of the Mokany brothers, Attila and Louis. It was one of three BIG Things the siblings brought to life, and the first! The other two being; the BIG Prawn in Ballina and the BIG Oyster in Taree. Rambo was completed in 1985. Two years before I was born!
