I've been blogging over at my Big things blog but thought it would be fun to compile all the Big Things
I discovered on our trip down to Port Macquarie, into one post here :)

First up the big prawn!
Definitely my favourite big thing so far, it was amazing! Recently it under went a facelift - 400,000 dollars later and he finally has a tail and a new paint job :) Well spent coin in my opinion!
I love it most when people around me get on board with my love of Big things
They get even more points when they want in on the picture!
This guy is Ben's brother, Paul outside the Big Bowls in Lake Cathie
The Big Banana
or as I like to call it the big overhype :P
It is one of Australia's most famous big things but honestly I've seen better :p
(oops maybe that's too harsh!)
Kew's Big Axe
(the very small township of Kew seem to be very proud of this axe, so I better watch my words here :P)
In a more random direction, just before the big prawn we saw this pineapple at a petrol station. Definitely one of the more bizarre big things finds as it didn't seem to have any purpose and you could also go inside of it! Whilst the windmill on the right unfortunately has a tragic story attached where the original builder died whilst constructing it :(
Full Disclaimer: I didn't know that fact before posing for the photo so I probably wouldn't of looked so happy
(my faux pas)
Cunningham's Big Bunch of Bananas
Like the big banana, the big bunch of bananas also lives in Coffs Harbour and unfortunately suffers under it's shadow - I still thought it was cool :)
The Big Knight and the Big Avo
both are adjoined to tourist attractions, Macadamia Nut World and Tropical Fruit World which we unfortunately didn't have time to visit :(
And lucky last the Beehive at Urunga
which we did get to stop in and where I picked myself up some yummy local honey!
I'm not sure if I told you guys but Ben and I are roadtrippin' back to Port on the 20th because Ben's brother (the guy on the motorbike above) is getting married - woohoo, it was a bit of a surprise but I'm super excited to go back, I love road trips! This time we're also taking the inland track down rather than the ocean way so I can photograph a few more big things *looks ridiculous excited*
Oh another happy note, Ben is back, *dances like crazy* woohoo!
(forgive me if this blog turns into a ghost town for a while :P)
Catch you on the flip side!
