        We have something not unlike this in a town called Gisborne, not far
from Sydney (well, not far by Australian standards, which is roughly any
distance less than that between Melbourne and Sydney).  It proudly touts
itself as the world's largest Merino, and it probably is - I can't imagine
anyone else being stupid enough to make a 20m tall sheep out of concrete.
Seen by daylight, it's merely a tacky tourist trap...

        ...but at night, its gigantic eyes glow with a sinister red light*
