Belconnen's favorite penis shaped owl!

Look closely! Do you see it? It's probably not what Bruce Armstrong intended when designing his owl tribute for Belconnen but this sculpture, one of Canberra's most prominent BIG Things, has been nicknamed 'The Penis Owl' It's simply titled 'Owl' though and it was created in 2011 based off the Australian Powerful Owl Ninox Strenua. The BIG owl is positioned in the middle of a median strip on the Corner of Belconnen Way & Benjamin Way. Parking's a bit rough for this area so I'd strongly suggest parking at 6 Ware Pl, Belconnen. It's a 30 second walk to the sculpture and a safe place to park.

Caroline Springs | The BIG Tap

This one is extra special as it’s made by Simon Perry! You may be asking yourself 'Who on Earth is Simon Perry?' Props if you recognized the name! If you didn’t, there's a really good chance if you've been exploring the world of Australian BIG Things you may have seen work from him and simply don't know it. The BIG Public Purse in Melbournes CBD is another Simon Perry Sculpture along with the BIG Knots in Brisbane! The BIG tap was commissioned by Delfin Land Lease for their Caroline Springs Estate and was brought to life in 2007. Looking for art near you or content for your next road trip?

Ultimo | Mulga the Artist

Mulga 2016 I don't think I've ever come across an artist who puts more effort into their work than Mulga does. I enjoy everything about the artists work, from the visual treat to the strange story he gives every character. The artist has 2.8k posts on Instagram and while not all his posts are murals every.single.mural has it's own story. I like the investment. I often wonder why or what the artist was thinking when they paint. Mulga's seems to spend a great deal of time thinking of backgrounds for his character 😂 A statement from the Artist "An Ode to Three Rad Birds There were these birds and they were pretty rad Whenever someone met them they'd be really glad They always had the best time any time of day If there was some fun to be had you know they'd find a way Rory the Rosella would always have a strawberry smoothie Walking around with his five panel looking pretty groovy Mitchell the Cockatoo had the sweetest of green coats It was good for the shops
