There's an ultralight of some description sitting next to the highway just outside Holbrook, NSW.
And after Rex retired one of their Saabs a couple of years ago (VH-OLN I think), after christmas-treeing it for all the working parts they put it onto a pole at the pilot academy in Wagga.

A Hurricane and Spitfire which greet you at RAF Museum Hendon (UK).
They're fibreglass.

The first Aussie Canberra was on the gate as RAAF Amberley but I'm not sure if it has been moved into the new Museum.

Many years ago a boomerang (yes a boomerang) was on the gate of RAAF Williamtown. It has since been relocated to the RAAF Museum. All the other aircraft on the gate are now displayed within Fighterworld.

There is a Vampire (A79-321) on a pole at a shopping complex here in the Melbourne suburb of Braybrook, on the sight an old Defence force storage facility. When the facility was running back in the 80's / early 90's a Sabre Jet was on a pole not far from where the Vampire is today.

Karl the Sabre was A94-907 which I saw in July 1992 whilst visiting Freedom Furniture stores in Melbourne, I have the location as Footscray as that's what a nearby sign had on it.

There was also a Meteor on a pole at a former defence facilty in Villawood, serial A77-878. The site was cleared many years later and is now a Bunnings complex.
