The Big Blue Heeler - The Big Thing PNC

This PNC celebrates Aussie Big Things as part of Collecting Month 2023, and features the 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.
