bloody hell, not even the sheep buildings can hold their value in this market. must be the only things in tirau that aren't selling wool.

tirau's biggest tourism drawcard is a giant dog and some sheep. says everything you need to know about the state of local attractions these days.

CAN WE PLEEEEEASE KEEP THEM AS ANA TIONAL TREASURE?? they're part of our heriage! i'll start a petition if someone doesn't buy them! WHO'S WITH ME??

yeah nah get stuffed, they're just rusty sheds with a paint job. let em go to a museum if anyone cares that much.

def not apartments!!! are u mental?? some things are sacred. like the big dog. and the big sheep. and pies from the bakery.

remember when stuff was actually happening in tirau? now it's just a cafe and some corrugated iron roadkill.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-02T00:52:07.000Z

i moved out of tirau years ago but i'd still be sad to see em go. they're iconic.

how much do you reckon they'll go for? asking for a mate who wants to live in a tin dog.
