William the Hairy-Nosed Wombat Statue

Don't miss stopping by Thallon's beautiful town park, for a selfie with "William the Wombat", a giant sculpture (two metres high and 3.5 metres long) of a critically endangered Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat.

Thallon has a special connection to the northern hairy-nosed wombat with some of the earliest specimens found in the area.

There are only 400 Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombats left on earth and they were known as Yaminon in the local indigenous language.
