Big Australia

It started with one BIG thing and spread to a whole collection around Australia. Spot them as you drive around and give us some feedback on what you think! Each is a plastic statue of the item and either a shop or a tourist attraction. Here is the list of some of them, there are others but not really that "Big" but they call themselves BIG.
