The Big Ant


Are you ready to be awestruck by the largest ant sculpture in the southern hemisphere?

This sculpture, designed by the legendary Pro Hart, is a must-see for any traveler visiting the area.

Originally built in 1980 at the Stephen’s Creek hotel and later transported to Broken Hill in 1990, it now stands alongside the Tourist and Information Centre on the corner of Beryl and Bromide Street.

The Big Ant isn’t just a unique sight, it’s also a symbol of the hardworking and resilient spirit of the people of Broken Hill. This unique sculpture is a nod to the mining industry that has long been the backbone of the city.

When you’re done exploring, be sure to stop by the nearby Pro Hart Gallery to see more of the artist’s incredible work.

P.S: Don’t forget to say hi to the little Ants on the way out.
