Adelaide’s CBD is a treasure trove of quirky, iconic statues that add charm and character to the city streets.

One standout is Paul Sloan’s "Pigeon", towering at 2.3 meters in Rundle Mall.

Installed in 2021, this cheeky sculpture invites passersby to stop, snap a photo, and marvel at its unexpected grandeur. Nearby, you’ll find the beloved Rundle Mall Pigs: Oliver, Horatio, Truffles, and Augusta, each with a unique personality, sniffing, lounging, or standing guard by the bin since 1999.

A short stroll to Hindley Street brings you to Roy Rene, the larger-than-life statue of the legendary comedian immortalized as his famous stage persona, Mo McCackie. Crafted by Robert Hannaford in 2010, this piece pays tribute to Rene’s iconic humor and his impact on Australian culture.

Adelaide's statues aren’t just art—they’re a celebration of history, humor, and community spirit. Whether it’s a giant pigeon or a cheeky pig, each tells a story that’s uniquely South Australian. So, take a walk, explore the city’s streets, and meet these captivating characters!
