Stopped of at "The Rock" on the weekend to stretch the legs.

I got thinking how many big Australian tourist icons are there?

Big Banana, Golden Guitar, Big Merino, Big Prawn.....

Any near where you live?

I really don't like the koala much - especially since they put red lights in its eyes a few years ago.....
