That’s right. This is The Big Merino in Goulburn, NSW Australia.
Australia certainly didn’t miss out on the craze for Big Things and since wool export is one of the things Australia is known for around the world, it would be silly to live here and not celebrate it!
Sweetheart wanted to go on a country drive again and who am I to say no to that! I didn’t know where we were going so it was a fun surprise to come off the freeway and see this 
Inside there is a gift shop (no surprise) but (surprise!) the gift shop didn’t sell much yarn! I only found one basket of 450g merino hanks in natural colours, lovely though it was. I’m considering going back and getting some.
Rather creepily, you can also climb the stairs inside the Big Merino’s head, and see the view through its eyes:
Rather a weird experience. I did take a picture of the view through the eyes, but I’ve decided that’s one anti-climax you’ll have to experience yourself 
hehehe!
After all that excitement, it was time for lunch. And in keeping true to my Australian roots we went across to the Bakery cafe:
Yummo, nothing beats a pie and lamington. These were two of the best I’ve ‘sampled’. Recommended!
It’s Friday night again and another weekend is upon us, I’m looking forward to some more stash sorting and getting my Star Anise Blanket on!
Stay happy
And if I didn’t have to go to the office this weekend, we would be going for another country drive
Gorgeous photo of the sweets. I just clicked the page to look at those, but oh, now i must go make cake! Salivating!
Haha I always get stuck if these two are on the menu! The pie is actually savory though, my favourite is beef and gravy. And the lamington was truly the best I’ve had in a long time, so chocolatey was the coating! What cake are you going to make?
