Cattle station manager and artist Melynda Rogers alongisde the towering three-metre statue of Joshua. Ms Rogers was commissioned by the Jericho Tourism Association to build the statue with a grant from the Regional Arts Development Fund.

She says she used three kilometres of wire from Boongoondoo Station, north of Jericho, to build Joshua.
