  • 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.

The gathering coincided with the fruiting of numerous bunya trees in the area, occurring every three years when the fruit was most prolific. People travelled to Baroon Pocket from throughout South East Queensland and northern New South Wales, using pathways that provided safe passage through the traditional countries of other groups. Nearby Mill Hill Road and Obi Obi Creek were such pathways. Baroon Pocket is in the traditional country of the Nalbo clan of the Jinibara People, determined Native Title holders, and mountain people of South East Queensland. The Jinibara People proudly displayed their connection to the forested hills of their country by using symbolic fern designs in their body paint. 03 Did you know?

  • Designing Our Tourism Future Starting the Conversation May 2021
    Designing our tourism future Starting the conversation May 2021 TOURISM INDUSTRY REFERENCE PANEL MESSAGE FROM THE PANEL CHAIR It’s time to think outside of the box. To say the last year has been difficult would be an understatement – 11.3 million less visitors travelled to and within Queensland in 2020, representing a loss of $12.3 billion in overnight visitor expenditure. Queensland is well positioned to be a winner in tourism post COVID-19. To capture the opportunity in full, we will need to adapt to meet the changing visitor attitudes and outlooks to travel. The decade ahead has the potential to be a transformational time for Queensland tourism. The Tourism Industry Reference Panel will work hand in hand with industry to understand and re-shape the future of the visitor economy in Queensland and identify the actions needed to achieve this. This paper poses questions about the future you envisage and encourages answers as to how to get there. It starts a wide-ranging conversation about the future of tourism in our state. Queensland is well positioned, it is a state that has managed the health crisis well, is filled with wide open spaces, is clean, green and abundant with local produce. We, meaning both the Panel and industry are a proud bunch, with every right to be. So, it’s up to all of us to show Queensland off – to position our state to win in an increasingly competitive landscape. As the Tourism Industry Reference Panel, we must be facilitators for change and improvement. While the Panel has the backing of the Queensland Government, we are not the policy makers.

They were a sweetener, made things juicy. Pineapple jam, pineapple breadcrumbs stuffed in the chicken roast for Sunday lunch after church, pineapple on the barbeque for the Christian folk my parents (MotherJoy and Onward) invited home, crushed pineapple in the punch, pineapple in the boiled fruitcake, pineapple in sandwiches as a treat through the summer holidays, pineapple in the curried rice salad for days my mother felt adventurous. We ate from pineapples too. Imagine then refined white sugar being spooned out of a fancy pineapple canister with its spiky pineapple top of a lid. Milk pouring out of a matching pineapple jug, part of a set. Salad out of large wooden bowls in the shape of half pineapples.

  • Australia's Big Dilemma Regional/National Identities
    QUOTATION: What does history have in store for architecture today? Australia’s Big Dilemma Regional/National Identities, Heritage Listing and Big Things Amy Clarke University of the Sunshine Coast Abstract Super-sized structures that mimic or quote smaller ‘real world’ things have been a feature of our landscape for many centuries. Largely as a result of the introduction of the motorcar, a new phase of structures with amplified proportions swept North America from the 1920s: roadside cafes, service stations and hotels utilised what David Gebhard labelled “programatic architecture” to capture the attention of passing motorists. This trend first appeared in Australia in the 1960s and peaked in popularity in the 1980s. Numerous “Big Thing”’ (to use the common Australian label) have been constructed in the past decade, such as the Big Golden Gumboot in Tully, QLD (2003), and thus the trend continues. Recent years have also seen the emergence of a ‘Big’ dilemma for local and State authorities, as Australia’s earliest Big Things start to decay, go bankrupt, or attract criticism for the outdated versions of Australian history and identity that they seemingly promote (as with the Big Prawn in Ballina [NSW]), the Big Lobster in Kingston [SA] and the Big Captain Cook in Cairns [QLD]). These roadside attractions have become significant landmarks with many layers of social, aesthetic and cultural importance at local and national levels, and their heritage value has begun to be acknowledged. In 2009 the Big Pineapple (Nambour, QLD) was inscribed on the Queensland Heritage Register, and as other landmarks have come under threat of closure or demolition, debate about the future of these structures has quickly followed.
