Way down south of the equator in the small New Zealand town of Tirau, visitors are often seen stopping their cars to get out and gawp at three rather bizarre, man made monuments. It all started out with the design of the town's visitor information centre – a complex housed within a giant sheep – representing the local farm industry. When this started to pull in the tourists, the decision was made to add a giant dog, to look after and direct said sheep. Then, not to be outdone, the local church decided to build a giant Christ to shepherd the flock.
