Australia's big things

Big things are really big objects that are placed in different locations in Australia. They are created to attract visitors and to represent the uniqueness of the places where they are located. These big things are often shaped and designed as popular items that are related to the area or location they are in.

For example, there is a big banana in a place called Coffs Harbour, because this area is famous for growing bananas. There is also a big pineapple in Queensland because they grow lots of pineapples there.

Other big things include a big prawn, a big koala, a big sheep, a big guitar, and even a big kangaroo. These objects are so big that people can take pictures with them, and they become very popular tourist attractions.

The idea of big things started in the 1960s when some business owners wanted to create something unique and interesting that would draw more people to their stores or businesses. They started building big objects and placed them in front of their stores, and eventually, it became a popular trend across Australia.

Nowadays, there are many big things all over Australia, and they are loved by both locals and tourists who come to visit them. So, if you ever visit Australia, make sure to see some of these big things and take lots of pictures!
