Big things

Last year, when this very ugly giant koala/souvenir shop was advertised for sale (at the bargain price of around $350,000),

my friends and I had an amusing conversation about the weird phenomenon of 'big things' being built as tourist attractions. They're just so dodgy ....

Some well-known 'big things' in Australia include the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Gumboot, and the Big Merino (sheep), and I recently drove past the Big Lobster on my way to the Coorong.



Two of the more disappointing 'big things' that I've visited are the Big Orange, in Berri, South Australia (basically a big orange ball with a staircase inside it),

and the Big Shell, in Tewantin, Queensland, Australia (which wasn't really very big, from memory).
Today I read about a natural 'big' phenomenon in Arizona, USA ....

Have you visited any 'big things'?
