Scottsdale in NE Tassie gets a big thumbs up from me...

Is that a plaque on the plinth next to it? I'm afflicted with needing to read plaques. Does it say anything about the wood carving?

Unusual to get the bike in front of a ship and since it was in port we rode over the causeway and took this. As luck would have it there are two people standing on the deck above the H in heavy which should give an idea of the size of this thing and what it is unloading. Taken at Port Pirie

Not a great shot... but an ST in front of a big Tassie Tiger nevertheless. Waratah Tas

The Big Golf Ball at Horsham Vic. it's not that big, but I'm guessing that it qualifies.

The Big Hills Hoist at Lonsdale SA. It's massive and I can only just reach the handle. This is on the site of the factory where Hills Industries made the famous Hills Hoist that we all swung around on as kids, and is another local Big Thing that I've been alerted to. I understand that it is soon to be demolished as Hills vacated the site long ago.

Cruise ship docked in harbour here this afternoon. Click on pix for larger image

Tugs pushing the ship to the dock

Tour buses waiting,

... and a fleet of mini shuttle buses moving along the breakwater to the ship

Majestic beast?

Another Big Silo Mural, this one at Patchewollock in Victoria

StinkyPete · « **Reply #515 on:** March 06, 2017, 04:45:40 PM »

Big Mallee Fowl, also at Patchewollock Vic. I didn't even know this existed and stumbled across it.

Nigel's white ST1100, Hendo's (RIP old boy!) red ST1100 and my black ST1300 - on the ride home from the Blackwood RTE, October 2014.

The Big Swan at Dunedoo NSW. It's not the best looking big thing that I've tagged, but I'd stopped for a break anyway.

How many "Big Things"does that make now Mr StinkyPete? And no, your secretary is not going to list them for you to check!

Anyway, good to see you weren't bored on the trip home from Harrington!

I make it 62 Big Things so far, and am always on the lookout for more. While not yet an obsession, it is getting a little weird. There are three at Coober Pedy that I haven't photographed, and might need to do an overnight trip to bag them.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #520 on:** March 07, 2017, 07:22:58 PM »

at least Five, actually

The Big Winch up on the lookout, The Big Boomerang, The big Miner, ... and a couple of others that will keep you guessing

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #521 on:** March 07, 2017, 07:34:08 PM »

Technically, the Opal Beetle across the road from the Boomerang is not a 'big' thing, but well worth a look and a picture... and only 100 metres away
from the Winch

Just got home from another trip and here's some more.

The Big Half Man at Shepparton Vic

StinkyPete · « **Reply #523 on:** March 22, 2017, 01:07:07 PM »

The Big Dingo Tree (as it is known by the locals) near Batlow NSW. Look closely and you will work it out.
