BIG Things in Australia In may parts of the world, and particularly in Australia, there has been a facination with the BIG THINGS of the area.

Generally built to promote tourism or businesses, these have become iconic, in the true sense of the word. Big things are generally promotions of items and scaled up for making an impression. Be it a bottle, a can, a piece of fruit or any other form of animal, these kitsch displays to grab your attention, give you a reason to stop and buy, are endemic to all parts of this nation.

Become a fan, share your images, your stories and comments.. We LOVE pictures, particularly from odd angles, or with odd stories. Refer to the Wikipedia site for a good reference to where you neares, obscure Big Things are.
