Just like a bus....

....none along for a while and then two come together. Having not spotted a 'big thing' since February, on our recent 'roadtrip' around NSW & Qld, we came across the Big Banana of Coff's Harbour (this actually started the whole ball rolling in 1964) & then the Big Prawn in Ballina.














We also passed the 'Big Rock' (actually a mini version of Uluru) near Barrington Tops, but since we didn't get our own pic of that one we won't claim it as yet!

How it all began....

On our trip to New Zealand in Feb '07, Lucy & I came across our first 'big thing' or item of 'Australiana' as they call it here in Oz. As we drove to Queenstown we passed the town of Cromwell which had several large fruit on it's boundary. And so started our interest with 'all things big'.... not sure why they actually build them, but they are amusing to look at!
