I reckon we should take a poll on how many pots it has. I’m going with at least six  :grin

Here's an odd one for you Gaz:

The Big Poppies on the Devonport waterfront:



That's as close as I could get without offending the locals.  But they are definitely the "Tall Poppy" variety.

Nindigully is famous for its big burgers.  I passed on that and shot the Big Boomerang.  It's a pretty poor excuse for a boomerang, I know.

Great pix for two reasons.
Well done on getting a proper shot of the Big Devil. 
And well done on capturing a lovely bit of Honda luxury.

The Big Cockroach  -  Dublin South Australia

It's a rubbish photo, but being just on the highway and with soft ground underfoot, is a quite hazardous spot to stop.   I'm pleased to have snagged a photo of the Beemer of this SA iconic Big Thing, and have included another photo from the interweb.

Nope, I've got photos of it too, but as Pete says, it's not really a good spot to pull up.

No Gaz, it's not Photoshoped, but a proper photo taken today on my phone and hence the poor quality.

Big Hands at the main entrance to the Centenial Park Cemetery ay Pasadena in Adelaide.   This new sculpture was only unveiled in December 2018, so it's quite new.  I like it.

It's the first I have heard of it and one I could easily snap up on the daily commute.
