Recently, renowned sculptor Carl Valerius unveiled an amazing art installation on the main street of Crookwell. This fabulous piece of public art was made possible after the Upper Lachlan Shire Council successfully secured funding from The Open Streets Program part of the NSW Government’s Vibrant Streets Package.
The sculpture embodies the true heritage of our Shire and highlights the deep connection our community has with the wool industry and Merino sheep.
The Ram’s head was cast in bronze, and has been permanently installed on Goulburn Street. A bespoke granite plinth was created using Grenfell granite, adding a sense of grandeur to the installation.
