The Nullawarre Township Association received $3150 from Moyne Shire in the most recent round of community assistance funding for the project, which will see the cows set up on the north side of Henrys Sawmill Road.

The group’s secretary, Lauren White, said they wanted to do something that would get tourists to pull into Nullawarre, have some fun and remember the town as a place to visit.

She said the group hoped the project’s catchy name would help councillors remember it when considering it for funding.

Ms White said the final look of the cows was yet to be decided, but the project made sense for the dairy farming town.

“We thought ‘why not?’ Look at Nullawarre, it’s the home of cows,” she said.

At the 2016 census, close to 70 per cent of Nullawarre’s respondents aged 15 years or over said they worked in dairy farming.
