Big things



Well, I have now seen four big things to add to my list. First was the Big Axe. It was in an area where they had had a lot of timber cutting in the old days.

 Then we saw the Big Banana in Coffs Harbor, which was the first "Big thing" ever constructed. Hubby had a little brain freeze there since he wanted to have a chocolate covered banana and didn't realize they were frozen. He thought it was a normal banana with chocolate and nuts on it, hehe!!


 We also saw the big Prawn here in Ballina where we have been staying for a few days. The poor thing looked pretty sick and a lady I talked to said that it looked nothing compared to what she remembered from when she was young. Then it was pinky orange and there were coffe shops and playgrounds around it. Now it was quite sad really. Let's hope they do something in the future!
The final one was on the way home driving through Tamworth where we saw the Big Golden Guitar, since it is the Australian hometown of country music and they have a festival there every year.


We have also been to Nimbin the marijuana capital of this fine nation and that was great fun but I'll have to get the photos from hubby.  There was a hemp embassy and other interesting things.  Here is one to keep you going.
Oh, there was one big thing there as well. The big spliff but you have to stand by to see that, since it is on hubby's camera.

It's time to have a little sleep and wake up and go to Tamworth tomorrow. And then home since sister in law and brother in law are arriving, and we don't want to miss that.
