The Rundle Mall Pigs are bronze statues that are large items, they are a central exhibit in the middle of Rundle Mall, Adelaide's most prominent shopping area. They are very realistic, and they are seen as scavenging rubbish. The Mall Pigs are i interesting artistic creations that attract locals and visitors to Rundle Mall.

These very cute sculptures in the middle of Rundle Mall put a smile on everyone's faces. The cheeky pigs were one of the first things we saw when entering the mall when recently visiting Adelaide. We loved them.

The Rundle St Mall has some metal pigs, they are fun. Exactly what they are doing I don't know, but they dont seem to be moving anywhere soon. The pigs add a touch o quirkiness to this city, which can seem to be a little staid,

The pig sculptures are life sized and located in the pedestrian walking area of the Rundle Mall. They get quite a gathering from tourists as well as locals. No matter when we passed by there were always people waiting for their turn to take a photo.

The Rundle Mall pigs are iconic. They are a favourite of children who climb on them, so much that their backs and ears are shiny from use. Along with the Silver Balls in the mall they are an iconic part of Adelaide City Central and SA Arts scene. Possibly underwhelming for international guests but a strong part of the SA psyche. The pigs and the 'Malls Ball's. Friends catching up in the city say ' Meet me at the balls'

What fun! The three bronze life-size sculptures titled "A Day Out" by Marguerite Derricourt are Oliver (looking in the trash bin), Horatio (sitting), and Augusta (trotting.) Their names were chosen during a public contest. Every mall should have a bit of art. Rundle Mall has a lot to look at with sculptures and varied architecture. Free!

Four cute bronze pigs in Rundle Mall....I had memories of there being more from previous visits so was looking...but I must have been wrong! Just the four little piggies, all with individual name plaques and stories to tell. I think they're fun.

Yep. Pigs as the title says. Was walking the mall and saw them, but wasn’t aware they all had names as I couldn’t see a sign close by.
Kids were seen riding them with parents taking photos, so it’s abit of fun for everyone.

You can't walk past them without smiling and just wondering. They are a welcome sight in a busy place and are enjoyed by all ages. Especially kids, who love sitting on them and trying to look into the rubbish bin as well. Cute and looking happy, they are just fun.
