Matilda, Giant kangaroo mascot sculpture in Kybong, Australia
Standing at a considerable height, the Matilda kangaroo statue features a tilting head and displays physical characteristics of an Australian marsupial.
The character originated during the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, where children emerged from her pouch during the opening ceremony performance.
This kangaroo statue represents the connection between Australian wildlife and tourism, serving as a regional symbol of Queensland's natural heritage.
Located near a service station along the Bruce Highway, the statue offers travelers a recognizable stopping point for breaks and photographs.
The original Matilda moved through several locations, including a water park, before settling at its current position in Kybong.
