An 18-metre-tall emu constructed from more than a tonne of scrap metal, three Volkswagen bodies and a pair of rusting satellite dishes now sits by the Castlereagh Highway, about 10 kilometres from town towards
Walgett.
The metal was recycled from the old Dubbo Police Station when demolished for the new “modern” block.“
Stanley” got his name from Orana Police Local Area Commander Stan Single, who originally hailed from Coonamble,
Walgett and the ‘Ridge region.
A time capsule was also inserted into the body of the structure to be opened in 50 years.
