The big magnet, Black Rock, South Australia

This was somewhat disappointing given I rode out here in just for this photo.  I remember it being bigger than that.  It must just be in my head.  This is a photo I took in 2015.  It looks bigger but maybe my head is playing tricks with me.

There were once two of them, one at each turnoff from the Princes Highway to Crystal Brook, and recently the one you photogaphed was moved from the northern turnoff and into the town.

I didn't know there was two, but it would explain why this photo I looked looked different to the photo my friend posted on her instagram page ages ago.

The Big Pigeon - Rundle Mall, Adelaide



I rode in to the city at 0630 hrs Sunday morning to get this photo of Adelaide'as newest Big Thing.   It's quite a fun thing, as the Mall ias full of normal size pigeons.   A security guard gave me the evil eye, because vehicles are banned in the mall, but he said nothing.

I'd planned on doing this too but wanted to sus out which end of the mall it was in first.  I got the malls balls earlier in the year.

Another Big Silo Art - Farrell Flat SA
This one is quite new, so new in fact that the HUGE cherry picker that the artist used was still parked by the silo.

Big Coke Can -  Solomontown SA
I've known about ths one for quite a while, and bit the bullet today and went for a ride.   Much of the paint has faded, and the white vertical markings on the side of the "can" have faded a great deal.   It looked much better a couple of years ago and I should have photographed it then.

I went past it on the way to the Sevenhills RTE earlier this year.  It wasn't there then.  I missed Cowell by a month too.

I picked this up this morning. #110
I wasn't as lucky with security guards though.  Of the three one came up to me and asked why I bought the bike in the mall so I told him to get a photo of the bike with the chicken, and as soon as I was done would turn around and go back out again as I came in and out via Gawler Place.  As soon as i said chicken I knew it was't a chicken but couldn't think of the word for pigeon.




True to my word I did turn around and ride straight back out.  What I didn't tell him was I was going to have a crack from the other side and get the Malls Balls.  I'd done that before but today got it in daylight hours.

Went for a snappy ride to run in a new back tyre, the hills were deserted,  always wanted to do a pilgrimage to Strath to see the Ken Blake Memorial,  I met Ken in the 70's when I was racing Motocross, I remember as Stephen Gall was the offroad champ at the time.  Hell of a feat to beat the GOAT Giacomo Agostini in 76, he was one of the SA greats along with Gregg Hansford.  Ken Blake beating the World Champion was a big thing  and so is the statue o:)

Big Beer Cans, Hindmarsh*, South Australia

Technically the beer cans are in Thebarton, but I label my photos where I was standing, and on this side of the river I am in Hindmarsh.

The big weber, Gepps Cross, South Australia
I wonder if this is the same one I snapped at Plympton Park about this time last year as that's no longer there.
