  • A List of Australia's Big Things
    A List of Australia's big Things Drawn from the Wikipedia article Australia's Big Things Australian Capital New South Wales Victoria Territory Western Australia South Australia Tasmania Northern Territory Australian Capital Territory Name Location Notes Located in the Belconnen Fresh Food Giant Markets, the Giant Mushroom shelters a Mushroom Belconnen children's playground. It was officially launched in 1998 by the ACT Chief Minister. Located at the main entrance to Giant Owl Belconnen town centre, the statue cost Belconnen $400,000 and was built by Melbourne sculptor Bruce Armstrong.[3] New South Wales Name Location Notes A bull ant sculpture designed by artist Pro Hart, which was erected in 1980 and originally stood at the Stephens Creek Hotel. It was moved to its current location, Big Ant Broken Hill next to the Tourist Information Centre in Broken Hill, after being donated to the city in 1990. Located in the middle of an orchard about 3km north of Batlow, without public Big Apple Batlow access. Only its top is visible from Batlow- Tumut Road, as it is largely blocked by apple trees. Big Apple Yerrinbool Visible from the Hume Highway Big Avocado Duranbah Located at Tropical Fruit World. Located alongside the Kew Visitor Information Centre. The original sculpture The Big Axe Kew was replaced in 2002 as a result of ant induced damage. This 1/40 scale model of Uluru was formerly an attraction at Leyland Brothers World, and now forms the roof of the Rock Restaurant. Technically not a "Big Big Ayers North Arm Cove Thing" (as it is substantially smaller than Rock the item it is modelled on), the Rock Restaurant is loosely grouped with the big things as an object of roadside art.
