The Big Pie has been erected in recognition that the Southern 'Pie-Lands' is Australia's Home of Pies, as the region celebrates the month long Pie Time festivities during June.
Destination Southern Highlands' Group Manager Steve Rosa said the team initially submitted an entry for the Big Pie in WOTIF's The Next Big Thing promotion in 2018.
"We were advised there was already a big pie constructed on the Gold Coast in Queensland. It was then that we submitted an entry for recognition as Australia's home of Tulips via Australia's oldest tulip festival, Tulip Time," he said.
"While we were a little disappointed at not winning, we still wanted to have Australia's 'Next Big Thing' to be based in the Southern Highlands.
"One thing that came out of our entry was the great support we had for a possible big thing that could support our other big tourist attraction, the Big Potato in Robertson."
The new attraction was created from a local wine pressing vat.
Following Pie Time, the Big Pie will be positioned in the forecourt of the Southern Highlands Welcome Centre to promote the year-round Southern Highlands Pie Trail.
