The Big Things of Australia are a loosely related set of large structures or sculptures which represent much smaller objects that are linked with the local area.
Like the Big Banana, our first Big Thing. It was built in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, a lush place absolutely surrounded by bananas.
The Big Banana went up in 1964, but now there are over one hundred similar big objects around the country. Each one of these Big Things is individual and constructed without reference to any of the others, but together they are collectively known as, strangely enough, The Big Things.

Australians have a tradition of spinning yarns. The stories are, of course, all true. Mostly.
