The Big Playable Guitar
I had to leave the bike outside

So that's why I never saw it last year.

Picked up a couple of locations of the bike in front of big things on the Glendambo ride.

Good thing Heather is in front of the bike!

But isn't that a standard sized Gloster Meteor jet?
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

It's a lot bigger than the one I stopped to take a photo of in Murray Town after the Melrose RTE.

It looks more like a Pheasant to me, but it's a great Big Thing.   :thumb

So a little ride today possibly the last before winter actually kicks in..
Left Wodonga and went to Koonoomoo to the BIG Strawberry and had yummy pancakes and coffee then returned home.

We saw and photographed lots of Big Things on our NatRally caravan adventure, but sadly, none with my bike.     :'(
I did get some with me and my OzSTOC hat.....  does that count?

It didn't stop you posting the big playable guitar 

That said I'd like to see them.  I guess you got the two in Cairns I drove past on a daily basis when I lived in Cairns but never batted an eyelid at.

At least with the Big Playable Guitar, the bike was parked out the front, and not in a shed 3,000km away.   :grin
I'll post a couple of interesting ones that we found, but there's not a lot.

The Big Black Opal
We came across this on the roadside several kilometers from Lightning Ridge.   I suspect that it's not real......

Just looked at it on street view.  I think it's about the same size as the one at Jubilee Park, Port Noarlunga South.  I'll get to see a proper giraffe when I take the family to Monarto Zoo in october.
