Giant Mo sparks Moe conversations

As part of Movember, a giant moustache – measuring an incredible six metres long – has been installed outside the Moe Library by the Men’s Health Charity, Movember.

The unveiling of the monstrous Mo came as Latrobe City Council hosted the regional launch event for the Movember Campaign Moustache on Monday 3 November, from 9am to 12pm.

There’s was an opportunity for community members to attend, come along and get a free hair trim, beard trim or a moustache style, listen to the DJ and enjoy the free BBQ breakfast and airbrush tattoos.

The Big Mo is part of Men’s Health Charity, Movember 2025 campaign. Moe has been chosen as the regional location, not just for the play on words, but to shed a light on regional and rural men’s health.

“Having the big Mo down at Moe is more than just a large Mo,” Latrobe City Council Deputy Mayor Sharon Gibson said. “It is creating the conversation on how men who live in the Country have double the health issues that their City “cousins” have. So get down and do the selfie with the big Mo and start the conversation, it might just save lives.”
