“One of the greatest successes of World Expo 88’s streetscapes was a series of compelling white sculptures called The Human Factor.

The figures featured in The Drovers are five of almost 80 used in the series which portrayed people in everyday situations, all frozen in time, capturing the essence of life in Australia.

Originally created in fibreglass, many of these sculptures were purchased at the end of Expo 88. The Drovers was purchased by the Department of Primary Industries and installed at this location in 1989.

In 2005, the Drovers was recreated in cast aluminium
