The Big Bogan is a statue in Nyngan, New South Wales, Australia.[1] Nyngan is in Bogan Shire; the proposal to erect a statue of a "bogan" had a mixed reception.[2] The statue was erected on 9 September 2015.[1]
The statue has continued to cause some controversy.[3]
The St. Mark's Anglican Church Minister came up with the idea of erecting a big sculpture that will draw tourists to Nyngan. The Bogan Shire Council began the process in March 2015 and the design of the statue was created digitally and provided to a local steel supplier to make a cut-out. The final product was 5.96m (19.55feet) tall and weighed close to 1500kg (3,300lb).[4]
In 2022, a pet dog was added to the sculpture.[5]
