Our Giant Animals

Our giant animals, have been crafted with attention to detail, representing the essence of Tasmania’s natural heritage and symbols of Tasmania’s cherished wildlife.

Snap a photo, strike a pose, or just enjoy how they bring the park to life. 📸 SJ.Mamii

Scattered through the park is a collection of giant Tasmanian animals, welded together by a local artist and designed to stop you in your tracks. From wallabies to other familiar faces of the island, these larger-than-life sculptures are part art installation, part photo opportunity and completely unforgettable.

Snap a photo, let the kids explore, or just enjoy discovering them as you wander the park.
