Big Things: Australia's Amazing Roadside Attractions | David Clark
2 posts
From the Big Ant to the Giant Worm, Australia has Big Things across the country in every state and territory. Some are magnificent, some amusing and others just plain kitsch, but each recognises the contribution of local industry, fauna or characters to the Australian psyche. Big Thingsis a tribute to those who have dreamed up, built, visited or simply love Australia's oversized road attractions.

@CarolynM @Reggie our NZ “big sheep” isnt quite as big or as stoic as your one Carolyn! And of course its made out of corrugated iron because why wouldn‘t you?! This is in Tirau - a town everyone stops in on the way to somewhere else. 😜

CarolynM Your big sheep look friendlier than ours 🤣 2mo

@Reggie I thought you might like to see my favourite big thing - the Big Merino in Goulburn (Lian Moriarty referred to it as a ram, but it‘s not just any old ram🤣) When we lived in Canberra we would see it regularly on the way to or from Sydney. It was a sight to behold at night with its eyes lit up a demonic red! These days the Hume Highway bypasses Goulburn so travellers miss out. We paid a nostalgic visit on our last Sydney road trip.

Teresereading Is there still a gift shop in its eyes? 2mo
Centique That merino has some Attitude! Love it 😜 2mo
CarolynM @Teresereading I don‘t think you can go inside it anymore☹️ 2mo

MrsMalaprop I am pretty sure this featured in the last book I read . How weird is that?! Think it‘s a sign you have to read it 😁. 2mo
CarolynM @MrsMalaprop A very clear sign! Stacking immediately 😊 Are there any big things in WA? I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen any of them. 2mo
CarolynM @Reggie It would be a very long road trip if you were to see them all! 2mo
CarolynM @Freespirit Always a fun diversion when travelling😊 2mo
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM Brett tells me there‘s the big prawn in Exmouth 🦐😂. 2mo
