Lets see your big things!
Firstly……damn Aussie weather!!
Been gorgeous for about a week now, and today….the only day when I need to do some work outside it rains and rains and rains, and it looks like the temp isn’t going above 16.
Anyone who wants to move to Aus, but doesn’t want to deal with endless sunshine, move to Mount Gambier!!!
Still…they reckon its 30+ tomorrow
Anyway; back to the task in hand. Big things! Lets see em! (no dodgy pics please…) I feel somewhat inexperienced in this department, as i have only seen the cray and a giant koala for real. The pineapple in that other thread was pretty impressive
To start us off here is the monster of a cray we drove past on the weekend.

28ft croc in Normanton, Qld (Gulf of Carpentaria)
Apparently a life-size replica of one caught in the 1950s
(that's my husband being eaten in there!)

I remember the big pelican in Noosa. There is also a big lawnmower in Qld - it's somewhere on the Bruce Highway, maybe around Gympie...anyone?
