Big Things #14

Kimba, Australia


Allegedly halfway across Australia is Kimba, South Australia, and this bloody Big Galah.

Not flaming unfortunately but I'm sure that can be easily remedied with a can of petrol and a match.

Big Things #16

Border Village, Australia


Ugliest Big Thing ever.

Pass this thing at Border Village and cross into Western Australia if you dare.

Big Things #15

Ceduna, Australia


Ceduna, South Australia, is meant to be famous for its oysters so what better place to try and force the Snot Like Seafood down your unwilling throat than in front of the Big Oyster itself.

    Big Things #17

    Wagin, Australia


    Lonely Planet lists the Big Ram in Wagin, Western Australia as the ugliest big thing ever.

    Well they musn't have endured the horror that is Rooey II at Border Village then although the ram certainly has scarier bollocks.

    Me, Loody And Annabelle missioned it to Wagin one day to have a gawp at this beast and its testicles and yes, I know I have an un healthy interest in the sheep scrotum but I'm sorry, they're a fucking tourist attraction on their own, I'm not kidding, there will be blogs all over the internet that bang on about this Big Things nut sack.

    Orrrrr maybe just mine then...

    If you're Welsh or otherwise into sheep, Wagin is the place to be, even the swimming pool has pictures of sheep painted on the outside and the pub we went to had paintings of people in compromising positions with their Ovine friends.

    Or they could have been shearing them. We weren't about to question the pastimes of the locals, we know what Aussies to to backpackers that ask too many questions.

    Big Things #18

    Meckering, Australia


    The Big Camera in Meckering, WA, is the shell for a camera museum.

    It's located on the Great Eastern Highway, the road between Perth and Kalgoorlie which is ironic as there's fuck all to photograph on this road apart from the Golden Pipeline which is the 650km pipeline that transports water from Perth to Kal and isn't actually Golden at all.

    You can even drive the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail.

    Excuse me while I contain my excitment.

    Big Things #20

    Donnybrook, Australia


    The Big Apple in Donnybrook, Western Australia has been brought to you by the wonders of digital zoom on account of the fact its been closed to the public for years and you can't get anywhere near it.

    Well I'm sure its vastly more impressive up close.

    Sure of it.

    Big Things #19

    Balingup, Australia


    The Big Mushroom suits Balingup, Western Australia down to the ground.

    That's all I'm gonna say in case they stop smoking dope long enough to file a lawsuit for making drug related insinuations.

    West Coast Mission: Day 8: Big Things #21

    Carnarvon, Australia


    300km after too much vodka and four hours sleep plus we couldn't pull over for a nap because as soon as you stopped the flies took up residence in your facial orifices. It's a fucking good job I'm easily amused by large, phallic objects like the Big Banana, Carnarvan or today would have been a write off.

    Come to think of it, for a lesbian I'm far too easily amused by phallic objects.

    Big Things #22

    Exmouth, Australia


    This beast is on the road between Coral Bay and Exmouth and I think there is actually a reason for it being there, as in the building behind it has something to do with prawns. Not sure what, though.

    Still, I reckon the one in Ballina would kick this ones arse in a fight.

    Big Things #24

    Humpty Doo, Australia


    Not even Steve Irwin godresthissoul would wrestle an oversized croc wearing boxing gloves.

    Mainly because he'd be on the floor pissing himself laughing at something so fucking absurd.

    The Big Crocodile, Humpty Doo, Northern Territory. Go on, its worth it for the jaw dropping pointlessness.
