Banjo the Kelpie Working Dog Australian Metal Art

Working Kelpie “Banjo” – Australian‑Made Corten Steel Garden Art

Meet Banjo, the hardworking Kelpie who never takes a day off — even in steel form. Made right here in Australia from 100% Australian weathering steel, Banjo brings that classic Kelpie energy to your garden: alert, loyal, and always ready to round up… well, anything.

Banjo is a real presence in the yard, measuring 94cm high(including the stake) x 60cm wide, cut from 2mm corten steel, and weighing a solid 2.5kg. Whether he’s “guarding” the gate or supervising the veggie patch, he looks like he’s mid‑stride and waiting for your next command.

Over time, Banjo will develop his own natural rusted coat. Some pieces arrive with more weathering, some with less — it all depends on how long he’s been out in the elements. Eventually, he’ll settle into a rich, even patina that suits his rugged working‑dog personality perfectly.

Prefer him looking fresh off the farm? You can request a raw, silver‑metal version instead which we will supply if there is one available. A quick spray of rust inhibitor from Bunnings will keep him looking sharp, with a re‑coat whenever needed.

Every Banjo sold supports two small Australian businesses, so you’re not just adding character to your garden — you’re backing local makers too. And you're buying 100% Australian Made so its a win-win!!

Banjo’s ready to clock on at your place!
