Heres the big gallah. One of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life.

There is a town called I think Dunedoo in NSW who wanted to build the big Dunny and house the new tourist information in the bottom. (Not that bottom Soapy!!) Unfortunately they could not get planning permision. They felt that it would put the town on the map and bring in loads of tourists. Probably right too!

Me and the Mrs have been trying to figure out which big Prawns, banana's etc we visited.

I reckon the Big Prawn is in Ballina and the Greyhound stops there?

Plus, I think we saw the big Pineapple but can't remeber where it was?

Does anyone know why this has become such an Australian thing?

I reckon we should import to the UK. My current town Ipswich could have a giant Cow Pat outside it. My place of work Norwich could have a giant zero on the road in, and given I've just insulted two places, I better insult my home town of Cardiff which could have any of the following: Sheep, Leak, Max Boyce etc...

Any others?
