So during our Agnes Waters camping weekend we checked out some more Big Things
First stop was Maryborough for the Big Ned Kelly, who did not disappoint!
You have to detour off the Bruce hwy for Maryborough but I think it was worth it. Ben struck up conversation with the lady inside the Petrol Station...why a big Ned Kelly? Apparently Ned came up this way to visit rellies :P not sure about that one, but who cares he's cool!
Bundaberg was next with it's Big Barrel, Big Rum Bottle and Big Turtle, whilst none of these actually stole the show, it's always impressive for a town to have three big things!
From Bundaberg it's back to the Bruce hwy where you'll find yourself in Miriam Vale checking out the Big Crab also at the local servo
Next on the list, Rockhampton and it's Big Dugong
(located inside the Dreamtime Heritage Centre).
Check out the beast, pretty impressive huh?

Further East and we arrived in Yeppoon to find the Big Kinka Whale which was possibly one of my favourite big things we spotted. He sits outside an abandoned Marine Centre. I'll admit I have a soft spot for abandoned things :P
I'm still collecting photos of big things and eventually want to collate a big list and give each a rating and some brief directions. I know when researching big things myself, info was all over the google shop. So just in case, there is someone out there, just as crazy as me, in regards to their love of big things, they'll be able to print out a simple guide :) That's the plan anyway!
P.S they weren't necessarily 'big things'' but Ben and I did stop in at a cool shop on the way home, worth sharing a few pics from anyway :)
Cassowary Sighting!
J's love of Giraffe's has definitely rubbed off on me, thanks J!
