In the huge, huge land of Australia where big things such as Mt Augustus, Uluru (our gorgeous image is by sukhchander) and the Great Barrier Reef abound, there’s another bunch of ginormous things. Manmade things. Made from fibreglass, concrete and plaster, painted in bright colours, these are the kitsch, roadside structures that road-trip dreams are made of!

(The Mayor of Christchurch, New Zealand, also looked for Big Things in 2012, read all about it!)
