'A Day Out' by Marguerite Derricourt

Adelaide, SA

On 3 July 1999, Rundle Mall welcomed four new residents —Horatio, Oliver, Truffles and Augusta. Made completely from bronze, these life-sized pigs look to be having a great day out in Rundle Mall as they walk the Mall, dig through the bin for food scraps and greet passers-by. The art installation officially known as A Day Out was created by Marguerite Derricourt, the winner of a national sculpture competition instigated by the City of Adelaide in the final stages of the Rundle Mall upgrades in the late 1990s. The people of Adelaide loved the pigs so much, a competition was held to name them and you can find a plaque next to each pig stating its name and the name of the person who named them. Children and adults alike are often seen hugging, sitting on and posing for pictures with the popular pigs on their days out in Rundle Mall.

'Edith' the Clydesdale Sculpture and Jetty Truck

Edithburgh, SA

Standing at the end of Edith Street, Edithburgh's distinctive jetty was once the centre of a remarkably busy working port. By the early 1920s, Edithburgh had become South Australia's third-busiest outport, shipping vast quantities of grain, wool, lime, gypsum and salt harvested from Lake Fowler and the many salt lakes surrounding the town. The waterfront bustled with ships, workers, wagons and horses. During the busiest years of the salt trade, hundreds of horses could be working in and around Edithburgh in a single day. Clydesdale teams hauled heavily laden wagons from the lakes and pulled small jetty trucks along the rails to ships waiting offshore. Their strength helped transform this modest coastal town into one of South Australia's most important regional ports. To mark the jetty's 150th anniversary in 2023, the Edithburgh Progress Association commissioned a sculpture of "Edith" the Clydesdale and arranged for an original jetty truck to be faithfully restored. Edith was painstakingly created by Peter "Turtle" Crosby of Cleve, while the historic truck was restored by the Ardrossan Men's Shed. Together, they honour the thousands of horses whose largely forgotten labour kept Edithburgh's industries and its busy port moving. You will find Edith and the restored jetty truck in Edith Street, near the centre of town, on the approach to the jetty.

'Pigeon' Sculpture

Adelaide, SA

The humble pigeon has been elevated to new heights with the installation in Gawler Place of 'Pigeon', a homage to those feathery urban dwellers that inhabit many city centres, including our own Rundle Mall. Nationally and internationally recognised South Australian artist Paul Sloan is the creator of Pigeon, which will stand over two metres tall and is crafted out of mirrored stainless steel. Paul’s vision was to raise the status of the humble pigeon from an overlooked, ubiquitous creature to the realm of awe and wonder. “I see pigeons as proud flaneurs, promenading through our leisure and retail precincts. They are the quiet witnesses of our day-to-day activities in the city, our observers from day through to night,” Paul says. Find 'Pigeon' in Gawler Place, outside Nespresso.

"The Australian Farmer" Granite Sculpture

Wudinna, SA

In 1992 the Wudinna & District community decided it was time to recognise their history, community spirit and belief in rural Australia through a work of art. In the following 17 years the project was driven by the Wudinna & Districts Directions Group and was supported by many volunteers who willingly gave their time and talents. Amazing contributions were made by the Croatian Community Australia wide and Corporate Companies who without natural links to the community, believed in the "Australian Farmer". Artist Marijan Bekic spent time gaining a feel for the region and the local people and produced the concept which he titled "Australian Farmer". Many years passed until the committee made a pivotal decision to proceed in 2007. With only 30% of the project funds in hand, a belief in Marijan's commitment and faith in the community, the Wudinna township are now the custodians of this masterpiece. The "Australian Farmer" celebrates the spirit of Australian farming communities from pioneering days to the challenges of rural living today. It is a reflection of life, spirit and soul of the farming community.
