The big inflatable bicycle, Victoria Square, Adelaide. 

This one truly is for a limited time only.  It's only up there when the Tour Down Under is on.

I've probably got more in archives because like I said yesterday I have many that I didn't recognize as big things at the time.  Even the rocking horse at Gumeracha I didn't think of as a big thing until I saw it on thr wikipedia page, and that thing is huge.   :fp

Had a look at some old photos, back in the day when I didn't really pay attention to big things.  The first one I have was Kapunda's Map The Miner but no photos with the bike in it.  It was one of many when I went throught the wikipedia page after the Queensland trip and thought "I have that"

In my inaugral overnight trip on two wheels what wasn't a bicycle I got the big orange tree which sits on top of the information centre in Waikerie.  I once played this in the "where is this?" thread.

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

The big Dunlop Tyre, Yamba, South Australia



I've snapped this quite a few times but my favorite picture is from the gopro riding through it.

Here's the Big Buddha at Sellicks Hill south of Adelaide.    It's a 18-metre-high granite statue of Buddha, on the site of the Nan Hai Pu Tuo Temple which, as far as I can tell, is still under construction as there is restricted access to the site.

Although Bhuddist related, it's not actually Bhudda, but the Goddess of Mercy.  I did not know this until recently and also called it the Big Bhudda.

No arguing about its size.
But isn't it a standard size for that particular function?

Nup.  Standard sized blade.  Unlike, for instance, the Stihl chainsaw display.
Just out of curiosity, what are the tyres at Leigh Creek off?  Mining equipment?
