Big, big things

Encounters with the ‘big things’ around Australia. It’s amazing what can be achieved with concrete, plaster and a desperation to attract weary roadside travellers…

The iconic Big Banana, in Coffs Harbour, NSW

Sadly defunct in Bodalla, NSW

Hooked from the Murray River in Victoria (Swan Hill)

The big dish…a rare big thing with a practical use, and setting for a movie. Parkes, NSW

Outside Alf Stewart’s house, somewhere in South Australia

Near Bathurst, NSW

Tamworth, the Aussie home of goddam awful country music

Dadswell Bridge, Victoria

Kingston, South Australia

Next to Maccas in Goulburn

Berri, South Australia

Nambour, where a former prime minster and treasurer hatched plans for programatic specificity

A break on the border between South and Western Australia

Hooked in Adaminaby, NSW

It’s bad enough Poldark causing chaos across Cornwall but I learned today that Granny Wobbly has retired from her fudge shop in Tintagel, replaced by some nondescript fudge for the masses. Thankfully, nearby Boscastle remains naturally sweet and crumbly . . . . . #cornwall #lovecornwall #cornishlife #boscastle #coast #waves #rugged #holidays #travel #swisbest #england #walk #southwestcoastpath #cliffs #harbour #landscape #nature #outdoors #scenery #atlantic #fudge #visitbritain

Stumbled across the Plymouth Seafood Festival and into the inevitability that I would be lured by something deep fried and Asian. ‘Thai style’ calamari #yummo . . . . . #plymouth #barbican #seafood #plymouthseafoodfestival #saltyair #calamari #foodporn #pescetarian #thai #deepfried #streetfood #explore #discover #travel #boats #harbour #heritage #sundays #hometown #devon #england
