That is correct.  You are it.  I did flip the image though.  This is the original.

No wonder it was with very little confidence - it was just a guess following a bit of research on iron ore export ports in Tasmania. Next pic to follow.

Bodo, I reckon give it 48 hours - no point in having it hang around. I was wondering if you might have included it in "Big things"

I'd never thought of if as a big thing.

Where is this?

I've googled "bird monument" and "museum", got lots of results, but alas none successful.  Some clues may be helpful.

If you dig enough, you might find gold. And old cows.

I have just checked Street view and it seems the sculpture is fairly recent and is not seen on Street view, which makes the task of picking the location particularly difficult. According to Google Earth the location is between 34km and 35km from Adelaide as the crow flies.

Mmmm ... there's a museum and a bird scupture, dunno if that's made from wood or what, and at 34km to 35km, I'll say Birdwood.

Well done Sir, the Museum is a dairy industry (and Ash Wednesday) museum. I honestly have no idea what the chook sculpture is about - I must find out one day.

Over to you .....

Most of the cryptic clues now make sense, but ...

... And old cows.

Huh?

Anyhows, where's this?



That's the Mighty ATX in front of the sign.   It's about the only two wheels I've been riding lately.  This AM's ride was a bit fresh on the pushie, around 1C when I set off.  First time I've had to look for a spot to hop off to warm up the fingers, effing frozen they were. Found a park bench in the sunshine, sans frost, put my hands into to pants to warm up the pinkies, at least that was my excuse and what I told the nice policeman, I think he believed me...

Had to do some photo shopping, otherwise this way too obvious.  Re. the nursery, VFL Sharp Shooter Simon would not proud of my work.  For SA members, that may not be a clue, but for WA members (who follow AFL / VFL) and / or the Western Bulldogs, it may mean something.

Anyways .... :popcorn

I don't know the name of this monument at Prospect Hill but I refer to it as Dove Rock since from the other side it looks like a dove.  I did take a photo from the other side but the angle of the sun meant it wasn't very good.
