FIELD GUIDE
The story
A realistic one, above a bakery door on the old Hume Highway.
Realistic is the operative word and the distinguishing feature. Most oversized food in this catalogue is stylised – bright, simplified, cartoon-adjacent, because that reads faster from a car. A meat pie rendered convincingly, with a proper crimped edge and a browned crust, is a harder object to make and a stranger one to encounter at scale.

WHAT TO EXPECT
A December 2025 specialist field visit confirms the oversized pie still sits above the bakery entrance, while Destination Southern Highlands confirms Samuel Gee Pies & Pastries remains an active business at 41–49 Old Hume Highway.
ACCESS
Navigate to Samuel Gee Pies & Pastries at 41–49 Old Hume Highway and use legal customer access/parking around the bakery. View the Big Meat Pie from the business frontage rather than stopping on the highway.
