Australia is the land of The Big - Orange, Pineapple, Lobster and also The Big Rocking Horse which is at Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. It was built in 1981 and is 18.3 metres tall, containing three observation platforms. Below the Rocking Horse is a toy factory which has displayed and sold wooden toys since 1973. The Rocking Horse is built from steel and weighs 25 tonnes. You can climb to the top observation platform for a mere $2.00 and receive a certificate to acknowledge your achievement. As I have no head for heights I decided to forgo the challenge. Total height - 18.3 metres Height of body - 2.4 metres Height of head - 6.1 metres Length of rockers - 16.8 metres Length of body - 10.5 metres
