Big Marlin - Cairns

Big Boab Tree on the Great Northern Highway. I stopped at this spot to get a photo of me with the pack of lifesavers (another story), and later that day realised that it was shown on Google Maps as The Giant Boab. The second photo is an internet photo of the same tree. The third photo is of a much photographed Big Boab Tree close to the turnoff to Derby.

Wow. Not bad for someone who was too focussed on enjoying the ride to stop and take photos!

There were plenty of Big Things that I passed, but did not photograph. Too committed to a long day's ride, too wet and slippery on the roadside, just got moving and didn't want to stop and get off again, previously photographed with my previous bike, etc etc etc.

Big Tuna at Edenhope

Edenhope or Eden?

When we were kids, family holidays were at Boydtown (other side of the bay from Eden), Dad got invite from a local to go Tuna fishing on his trawler, came back the camp ground with two bigguns in the boot of the Mark 11 Zephyr, so big they had to lie diagonal and the boot lid wouldn't close. Not as big as above though.

Edenhope. I posted the same fish in my Harrow Ride Report. It's not actually a tuna, but a fish from Saint Vincent And The Greanadines (country in the Caribbean sea).

I found another as I sort through my photos.

The Big Gold Panner at Bathurst. I could not get the bike in the photo, so I settled for an OzSTOC cap.

It's actually in Kelso, but you got a lot closer to it than I did.

I found another among my photos.

The Big Mango at Bowen

I went for a ride today to bag a couple of Big Things that I knew about. This first one is off the beaten track on Poole Road, and at this location... https://goo.gl/maps/MV3wppyjoqPp3YDR9 There is another Big Thong on the cliff top drive near Elliston SA.

The Big Thong near Port Germein SA.

The Big Tin Man at the Tin Man Roadhouse near Port Pirie. This is made from 44 gallon drums, and has been there forever, because I remember driving past it in around 1964.

Even though we get to Pirie quite often we don't go out the northern exit that often and pass the ~~Mobil~~ BP there.
