2023 The Big Things Big Blue Heeler PNC

This postal numismatic cover celebrates Aussie Big Things as part of Collecting Month 2023, and features the Big Blue Heeler $1 coin.

The Big Blue Heeler statue commemorates a type of Australian Cattle Dog believed to have originated in the 1840s in Muswellbrook, a town in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. Originally bred by cattle farmers by crossing the dingo with the Northumberland Blue Merle, this working dog can handle high temperatures while quietly and swiftly herding cattle.

Aussie Big Things is a celebration of the great Australian road trip. And with more than 200 of these massive landmarks scattered across the country, tourists and locals are propelled to ‘tick off’ the Big Things as they drive throughout Australia. How many have you seen?
