I was surprised to hear of the big watermelon and was wanting to know where it was. I have never been to Chinchilla but might just visit one day.

How cool is this! I love that we have so many big things

Unless entry has been stopped because of high insurance premiums and OH&S reasons you are allowed to climb the rocking horse in Gumeracha. It used to be free to do it, but I recently heard that you now have to pay to do so.

Ha, very cute. I live in a town with a ‘big’ thing….can’t go inside anymore since it had it’s upgrade. My Japanese students were suitably impressed (or amused lol).

I find the big things hilarious.

All the ones listed are ones you cannot enter – I like the Big Pineapple where you go inside and buy pineapples.

I’ve seen heaps of big things around Australia. It makes road tripping lots of fun.

That watermelon looks great! I love watermelon so would love to have a piece that big hehe. I’ve visited a few of the big things over my life and this they are great tourist attractions!

When we were kids and used to go on family driving holidays we used to visit all the “BIG” places, bip pineapple, big banana, big bottle, big worm etc. LOVE it

Love how we have so many of these wonderful places, think the Government should help more to happen as well.

The watermelon looks amazing, but a little sad that we missed out on the peanut here in Kingaroy.

These make for a great school holidays road trip. Been to see the big banana as a kid, was a fun but of sightseeing on the drive up to QLD.

Watermelon festival was already on my list of things to do now I’ll get to see the big Watermelon while I’m there.

I think they are great fun for children, especially on holidays!

We do have quite a few ‘BIG’ things here in Australia. We also have big open spaces, big hearts and big kindness. You can’t build them, but you can appreciate them

Not sure about all ofthese “big” attractions. The ones I hve been to are not a big deal…

We have visited many ‘Big Things’ on road trips and we will add the Big Watermelon to the list. The Big Banana is probably the most enjoyable one we have visited.

Some of my best memories were going on car trips and having sneeky stops at some of oz’s “big” attractions. Looks like a new road tripping holidays needs to be planned.

  I agree with you; I had a wonderful time in childhood visiting and having fun at ‘big things’ and now we are passing this tradition on to our own children.

I’ve been to the big banana, the big pineapple (I think it’s closed now), a big shoe (NSW South Coast), the big potato (Robertson NSW) and I think I’ve been to the big cheese too! Oh and the big Merino of course

My kids would love to visit this. Time to have a competition to go there.
