The Big Bogan, Steel monument in Nyngan, Australia.
The Big Bogan stands nearly 6 meters tall, depicting a man wearing thongs, holding a fishing rod, and carrying a monogrammed esky container.
The Big Bogan statue was constructed in 2015 after a proposal from the Anglican Church Minister to increase tourism in the Bogan Shire region.
The monument represents Australian casual lifestyle through its portrayal of a person wearing typical informal attire and engaging in recreational activities.
Visitors can locate the statue in the center of Nyngan, where dedicated parking spaces and photo opportunities are available throughout the day.
In 2022, the addition of a steel pet dog companion enhanced the Big Bogan statue, making it a more complete representation of local life.
