Sad news is, unless they find some major funding for repairs, this will be torn down soon.

The Big Cherries at "Fleurieu Cherries", Pages Flat, SA. They are not that big, but I saw them on the interweb under a list of big things in SA so it was necessary to go for a ride to photograph them.

It's all about perspective. How else was he going to make them look big. :stirpot

The front of his ST points towards the 'big thing'

Many years ago at Whyalla Shipyards, (which closed down in 1978) there was a device called a Profile Cutter, which followed a line drawing, and transferred details to a motor driven plasma cutter which followed the directions given and cut ship hull construction plates from 1 and 1/4 inch sheet steel.

A fly landed on the drawing and the profile cutter dutifully followed the outline of the fly which resulted in a 12 foot long, one inch and a quarter thick, steel cutout being produced. Apparently the fly flew away just prior to completion of the article, but Boilermakers manually finished cutting the portion of missed wing and one leg. It was displayed behind the construction workshops at the fitting out wharf, a standing joke for several years.

It is unknown what happened to the steel fly because it disappeared one night during 1966, obviously a well planned operation because of its sheer size, and it weighed over a ton and a quarter.

Would have made an interesting photo with an ST standing before it.

From 1949 to 1985 there was a large Migrant Hostel in the Adelaide suburb of Pennington. Recent migrants were housed on site in Nissan Huts and used communal facilities until they were integrated into the community. This site is now a housing development, but a park has been established which commemorates the areas previous use and residents. Part of the features of the park is a big plate, cup, knife and fork, in recognition of the large kitchen/dining facilities that were part of the hostel. You can read more at http://migration.history.sa.gov.au/content/finsbury-pennington

Anyhow, in my search for big things, this is another local one that I've recently discovered.
