Adelaide’s Iconic Bronze Pigs in Rundle
Friday 3 July 2020 marked 21 years since the iconic bronze pigs Horatio, Oliver, Truffles and Augusta were unveiled in Adelaide’s Rundle Mall.
Rundle Mall celebrated this special occasion with other much-loved South Australian icons including Balfours, Robern Menz, Charlesworth Nuts, Melba’s Chocolates, Kytons Bakery, Haigh’s Chocolates and Jonny’s Popcorn with special guests the Balfour’s Green Frog mascot as well as Robern Menz’s Mr. FruChoc, Kytons Bakery’s Larry the Lamington and Charlesworth Nuts’ Charley the Peanut.
Rundle Mall Fun Fact
These fun-loving pigs were created by South African-born artist Marguerite Derricourt, the winner of a national competition instigated by the City of Adelaide to find a piece of public art to mark the final stages of a Rundle Mall upgrade. They’re officially known as ‘A Day Out’ and they’ve spent the last 21 years enjoying themselves in the Mall, greeting passers-by, sniffing around and digging through the bin for yummy scraps.
