A Guide to Australia’s ‘Big Things’

No joke, this giant croc is actually standing in a town called Humpty Doo. It was built after Australia won the America’s Cup in 1983, and believe it or not, this guy is one of four big crocodiles in the country.

It wouldn’t be Australia without a giant koala, would it? There are actually two big koalas in Victoria, although this one is the more popular choice since it’s right off of 5829 Western Hwy.

This size of this lobster was said to be an error, with the misinterpretation of measurement making it a heck of a lot bigger than it was supposed to be. There are also two big lobsters in the country, but this one is by far the largest.

After the Country Music Awards of Australia honored artists with the Golden Guitar trophies, this 12-meter-tall structure was built.

A place called ‘Tropical Fruit World’ exists (yes, really), and includes a giant avocado. And of course, the land of avocado toast has to include a big avocado to the list.

This big guy scored the title of the world’s largest pineapple, beating the original holder in Hawaii. You can find this giant fruit along the Sunshine Coast, where you can explore the 165-hectare pineapple farm.

And last but not least, this big prawn was built outside of a Bunnings Warehouse, a short drive outside of Byron Bay. The structure was almost torn down in 2009, until Bunnings saved the day and bought it out.
