Big Things: Australia's Amazing Roadside Attraction by David Clark

From the Big Ant to the Giant Worm, Australia has Big Things acros the country in every state and territory. Some are magnificent, some amusing and others are just plain kitsch, but each recognises the contribution of local industry, fauna or characters to the Australian psyche. Big Things: Australia's amazing roadside attractions is a tribute to these famous Australian icons. Inside are pictures and stories describing the physical features, history and idiosyncrasies of the Big Things, from those who helped with their construction to the knick knacks found in the gift shop next door. David Clark's book celebrates the scale of the Aussie sense of humour and is a book for anyone who has stood at the foot of a Big Thing and wondered, 'what were they thinking?!'
