No thread for this pic...  so here will do...

STs in front of something mini....


Or I guess it could be a BIG gathering of this tiny British marque.

Fixed.

One of the kids got this as part of one of their Christmas presents. I thought it would be interesting in this thread because it shows a lot of 'Big Things' around Australia.
There's probably more. I know that there is the big Ned Kelly in Maryborough here.. doesn't really have any reference to Ned Kelly ever being in Maryborough, but the servo (where it is located) was once called 'Kelly's'.

There will be some who recognize these. They have to qualify as "big things". I should have put the bike closer, but I was too lazy and just wasting time until my coffee was made.

I at first thought they were DUKW, but I've since been told they are LARC's - same principle, just a different maker I think. These are at (the town of) Seventeen Seventy and are used for exploring the creek and wetlands. Very busy during the tourist season, I'm told. Very high maintenance costs. Much more than an ST....

That is very clever!  Thanks for posting it.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I think the fence might defeat the 1/3 rule.  It would be 2/3 bike at least.

Technically, it's a distributor, not a power station.  Follow those cables back to their origin for the power station.
But that's the biggest distribution complex I've ever seen, I'll grant that!

Thanks mate,
I wasn't sure if it was a power station but that was the best explanation of it I could think of.
That being said I have now a learnt something new for today (I try to learn at least one new thing a day :grin) :hatwave :thumbsup
