      heheh, this is just outside the city of Bathurst in NSW, Australia.

      Nice town, terrifically tacky "Big Thing"

      This is great! I went to Bathurst for a school excursion when I was a kid but I don't remember this guy.

      I was trying to find a flickr group to add some photos of Big Things like this guy but couldn't find one so I have created a "Big Things" group. This shot would fit right in if you feel like joining in!

      Cheers xanadu! Consider me signed up.

      I'll see if I can rustle up some more big things here in Canada for you. I do know of a "Big Orange" outside Montreal.

      Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Australian Pictorials, and we'd love to have this added to the group and website!
