"Watch Out Rosalie" pays tribute to celebrated Australian/New Zealand artist Rosalie Gascoigne, whose transformative use of found materials including road signs, that reshaped the way we see everyday objects. This sculpture echoes her spirit while turning attention to a very real issue on Australian roads: the growing amount of wildlife struck by vehicles.

Across the country, land development, new subdivisions and expanding road networks continue to push animals out of their natural habitats. Country drivers know the risks well as kangaroos account for around 90% of animal collisions on open roads, a statistic that speaks to both their abundance and their vulnerability.

Rosalie the Roo stands as a reminder to slow down, stay alert and respect the creatures that share our landscapes. Created during a time when many Australians were holidaying closer to home, she encourages travellers to be mindful as they explore the Kimberley and beyond.

The Willie Creek Pearl Farm family hopes Rosalie’s presence prompts both reflection and care. She is a playful warning, a nod to Gascoigne’s legacy, and a call to protect the wildlife that makes our country so extraordinary. Safe travels and enjoy your time in Broome.
