The statue has had many visitors since the unveiling day back in January 2010.
By the following September, the first tourists had arrived from the UK.
Jean and John Barford from Worcester (near Birmingham) and friend Martin from London travelled to Killeigh specially to see the sculpture.

Peter Pearson actually visited Killeigh before any work was done on the monument! Peter, who is a journalist and editor of the National Greyhound Form (Australia`s biggest selling greyhound paper), visited Mick the Miller`s birthplace on 12th September 2010. He had heard on the grapevine that there was to be a statue erected to Mick. Here he is standing on the proposed site.

"Where is he"?
