Rob Reacts to... BIG Things in Australia - Part 2

[@RobReacts1]

Have you visited any of these?

[@schrader.w.e]

I see they left the big bong which is in nibben Australia have been past a few in my travels we have the big pineapple near us was a adventure park back In the hay day Kinda like the big banana and know not that kinda banana Rob 😅

[@hughenden6]

yes

[@miniveedub]

I’ve seen two from this second video, the big merino and the watering can. Ravensthorpe in WA is well known for its wildflowers. Rambo the big merino (sheep that produce ultra fine grade wool) is definitely a ram no matter which way you look at it. From the front you can see his curly horns, which ewes don’t have, and approaching from the rear…

[@supergran62]

Obviously I’m best friends with Larry the Lobster. I’ve been to Big Pineapple, Big Cow, Big Banana, Big Mango, The Giant Koala, Big Guitar, Big Bench, Big Bee, Big Cherries, The Big Cockroach, Big Olive, Big Orange, Big Pelican x2, the Big Pigeon, The Big Rocking Horse, The Big Santa (I hope Cozzi does a great job restoring him. Can’t wait to see where his is going to be placed), The Big Scotchman, Big Lizzie, The Big Mallee Root, The Giant Murray Cod,The Public Purse and The Big Wool Bales. Crikey, in my old age I realise I’ve travelled a little bit.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

The pineapple, banana. and one not in your vids, not nice like the others . It’s a Big Dog, made out of wood, all brown, no nice carving. It’s outside a train station , near a busy street in a the Melbourne suburb of Fairfield, Victoria. I’ve stood and stared at it, and shake my head🥴🧐

[@joandsarah77]

They use to say 'Australia rode on the sheep's back' (economy in the 1950's) and that was the Merino. The Australian Merino was larger, more robust sheep that could yield up to 10 times more fleece than the original Spanish variety. Later on coal and iron ore had replaced wool as the major earner.

[@garrygraham7901]

It also has enormous testicles!

[@matthewcullen1298]

Yes synthetic fibres slowed the wool industry down. I still prefer natural fibre clothes.

[@PiersDJackson]

But for context the Big Merino is a 4 story high replica of the mascot/logo for a former Fuel Company, Golden Fleece Company.... as an homage to the branded roadhouses (think motorway services)... for some reason the photographer didn't use the rear shot of "Rambo", there's almost a middle stump... a pair of bush oysters that'd be almost 4m long.

[@matthewcullen1298]

@@PiersDJackson 😂

[@PiersDJackson]

I should have said Rambo is actually a building, with a store inside, and is made of concrete.... originally opened in 1985, then moved ½ mile in 2007 because the Highway bypassed Goulburn.

[@melissaperkins4303]

The whale was definitely the favourite. Never seen it before... I've only seen 3 in person as mentioned last video. The big merino...which is absolutely iconic and still waiting for The big pineapple and banana.... hopefully a part 3 coming soon.

[@RobReacts1]

I think that calls for a road trip!!

[@Smokey7186]

Seen real humpback whales in Hervey Bay. Years ago. The statue must be new.

[@Dr_KAP]

Every Easter and Christmas we would travel to the south coast to see grandparents and ALWAYS stopped at the Big Merino for lunch. You can go inside him and look out his eyes 😆Also the eyes glow green at night.

[@warwickofnorwich]

Always had a soft spot for the Big Lobster (Larry). My mum was from down that way and whenever we went to visit my grandparents we would stop there for lunch. There is a restaurant on site. Also my dad built the bridge just past Larry in the 50’s. Although he went on to bigger things like solving landslide issues in Hong Kong, every time I’m down there I get a photo of me on his bridge.

[@supergran62]

I pass Larry (the big lobster) every time I drive to Adelaide. The Southern Rock Lobster is fished by fleets all along the coast south from Kingston. It’s a fitting ‘big’ thing. Larry has had a very interesting past, been threatened with dismantling and removal, been the subject of ‘Save Larry’ campaigns etc.

[@hughenden6]

did you know it was built by accident? they miss read feet for meters

[@RoyHolder]

Kingston SE (there are 2 Kingstons) is 300 kilometres south of Adelaide, have time for an 8 hour return trip from Adelaide? probably not.

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

And what a crap hole, just like Millicent down the road!

[@waza987]

The big Merino is a sheep (with full wool just before shearing) it is at a petrol station in a town that has now been bypassed. It is made of concrete so not carved.

[@M.J.80]

Frankie the Gnome is a couple blocks from my house 😅 The thought of him acting as giant mirror during summer crossed my mind as well, but he doesn't. He's part of some sort of freeway project. Every few years they place a sculpture at a certain part of the freeway, then a few years later that sculpture is moved to McClelland Sculpture Park which is an area where you can go wonder round looking at all the other sculptures, have a picnic and so on

[@M.J.80]

Currently there is a giant dandylion where Frankie was. Its kind of pretty at night because its flowers light up. There used to be a 'tree of life' sculpture, which was most of the locals favorite

[@gamortie]

The state government has been putting all sorts of weird and wonderful artworks alongside major motorways, starting with the cheese stick and spare ribs near the end of the Tullamarine freeway, and now includes a perspective rendering at the junction of the western ring road and the princes freeway, a scaled down hotel block and Torchwood antenna on Eastlink, and a mutated dalek at the start of peninsula link

[@Misshowzat]

Looking forward to seeing The Big Koala & maybe The Dog on the Tucker Box. We used to drive past them on the way to Horsham

[@darrengray2309]

I was at the Big Koala a couple of days ago at Dadswells Bridge

[@toddavis8151]

The big merino is on the edge of Goulburn (about an hour north of Canberra). It was originally in the middle of town to encourage people to stop on the way between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. However when the town was bypassed they put the whole structure on a truck and moved it it it’s current location about a mile up the road. There is now a McDonald’s, service station and bakery connected to it

[@susanab7]

The Big Merino has moved location, it used to be on the outskirts and as you'd drive into Goulburn, you'd see it. Goulburn is about an hour from Canberra and as a kid going to school in Sydney, you'd always go to Canberra for school excursions. The Big Merino is definitely my fave!

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

I visited Kingston SE a couple of years ago... loved the place... The big lobster is known locally as Larry the Lobster. It looks great at night, when it's lit up. The complex where he is located was empty and up for sale at the time. I hope Larry is still there.

[@TheBrierose]

The Big Merino is very definitely an adult ram, especially when viewed from a different angle, to put it politely.

[@noelleggett5368]

The Big Merino is made of concrete. Merino wool was the foundation of the Australian economy for almost 150 years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merino

[@kimnovak8985]

Hervey Bay is where the humpback whales migrate to from Antarctica. It’s in subtropical Queensland and called the whale nursery as they have their calves there and then when the weather warms up migrate back with their calves to Antarctica. They migrate between June and October and you can cruise out on a charter and see them. You can also see them from the beach on the Gold Coast . But if you get a chance to go whale watching - it’s epic.

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Many local freeways have a series of sculture/large display objects along the road sides well clear of traffic. The Chrome Gnome was errected beside the newly opened Penninsula Freeway going down the east side of Port Philip Bay about/over a decade ago. It was changed to other large sculptures over time snd the Gnome seems to have moved to Frankston, not sure where exactly.

[@stephenallen4374]

The big Wales made with natural wood and stainless it's beautiful I've been there Rob you like it

[@donfinch862]

There's a big crayfish (lobster) in Dongara, West Aus as well (cray fishing area). Not as imposing as that one you showed. Scare the kids, that one. Thought I saw a big whale in the surf once, but it was just the missus got dumped by a wave. Big Merino in Wagin WA. Merinos are bred for their wool - they got lots. Big Wombat lives over the road, don't talk to him much.

[@jonsant7232]

Don you're a brave man I hope your missus doesn't read this if she does I hope you like hospital food through a straw 😂 is there really another big Marino in WA? The one pictured is in Goulburn NSW Cheers mate.

[@donfinch862]

Yeh mate, google "merino Wagin". Big ram with a monster set of nuts. Built in the '80's I think. I actually said something similar to the missus years ago, didn't go down too well. She's a good chook tho

I stayed at the motel behind the big Merino. Had a lovely view of his rear end and other things. My home town, Cressy in Tasmania has a Big Trout. Cressy is the gateway to trout fishing country.

[@tarsha8816]

I was living in Hervey (pronounced Harvey) Bay when the Whale was built… they didn’t show you the other end of the whale though… as the head is in one part of town and in another is the tail.. but that whale is wickedly cool..

[@tarsha8816]

The whale also represents the Humpbacks that migrate up to Fraser Island- which is right off Hervey Bay - around November time.. they even have a blessing of the whale watching boat fleet…

[@TheNakedWombat]

When satirists The Chaser on tv, they once had a large poop made and fitted to a trailer which they drove to a country town trying to promote installing The Big Poop as their tourist attraction.

[@TitanSummers]

I live in Hervey Bay. The Whale Tail is down near the beach and has a free water park for the kids and coffee shops for the parents.

[@mikeythehat6693]

The Merino is a breed of sheep that produces copious amounts of wool . It is historically significant to the Australian wool industry . Can't remember why Goulburn has a massive concrete one , I haven't been there since the 1980s , but it's certainly an impressive sight , driving down the highway. The Whale IS certainly the coolest.

[@RobReacts1]

It's actually a Spanish sheep from the 12th century according to Wikipedia 😁

[@mikeythehat6693]

@@RobReacts1 Yeah , well , Australia doesn't have any native sheep , Rob , dunno if you're aware of that , almost everything we have has a European heritage somewhere along the line . The ancestral sheep was especially bred to suit Australian conditions and to produce a higher amount of wool per animal.

[@RobReacts1]

@@mikeythehat6693 I just thought I would share my research 🙂

[@jgsheehan8810]

imagine living across the road from that lobster! Ka the snake in The Jungle Book. Merino is a type of sheep that provides superfine wool. It is realistic as well, if you look around the back you'll know it is a ram. there is a gift shop inside it.

[@deltahillcreative]

Here in Gippsland Victoria, we have a 25-metre statue of a golden pheasant called Bruno. He is made of wood and stands at the entrance of the family wildlife and amusement park Gumbuya World. Initially, the amusement park was a pheasant farm before being converted into a park in 1978. In October 2011, tragedy struck and Bruno was vandalized. He had an explosive attached to his rear end which blew up his backside and caused shattering cracks in his body and neck. Fortunately, the suspect was arrested and charged for damages amounting to $50,000.

[@RobReacts1]

Oh wow! I seriously don't get why people need to vandalise things!

[@noelleggett5368]

The original ‘big thing’ was the Big Pineapple, at Woombye, near Nambour on the Sunshine Coast, which opened in 1971 (less than an hour’s drive from my place). However, the tradition of roadside monuments and tourist oddities in Australia goes back to the ‘Dog on the Tuckerbox’ monument (inspired by a poem about the life of a drover) first erected 8km outside Gundagai in 1926, and made permanent in 1932. My favourite of the modern ‘big things’ must be the Big Bogan - at Nyngan, in the Bogan Shire in outback New South Wales.

[@keithkearns93]

Big Banana was built long before the Big Pineapple

[@noelleggett5368]

@@keithkearns93 Yes, that’s true. I stand corrected. The Big Banana at Coffs Harbour, NSW, opened as a fun park just before Christmas in 1964. Unlike other big things, it was never just a roadside rest stop oddity or a gift shop attached to a farm, but was always meant to be a centre of entertainment for the region.

[@keithkearns93]

@@noelleggett5368 wrong again. Do a bit of research because I couldn’t be bothered to educate you.

[@noelleggett5368]

@@keithkearns93 OK. It might have started as a roadside oddity and a gift shop attached to a farm, but within a couple of years, it became much more. Since the 1960s, it has hosted events from motor races to music festivals. From the Website: “The plaque commemorates the 50th anniversary of The Big Banana which was opened in 1964 to advance the banana and tourism industries. In 1964 John Landi wanted something to make passing traffic stop at his road side banana stall. He had heard of a "Big Pineapple" in Hawaii and thought that something big would definitely stop traffic. With assistance of 1200 pounds and local engineer, Alan Chapman, who set about designing the giant banana by cutting the best looking banana he could find into 40 pieces and developing plans from which builders could work from, the Big Banana could become a reality. Builder Alan Harvey started the construction in September 1964 with the work to be completed before Christmas. The biggest banana in the world was officially opened on December 22 that year. Not long after, John Enevoldson joined as a partner and they expanded with 20 more plantation acres, a shop, cafe and a larger car park. In 1968 John Landi retired and sold his share to John Enevoldson who continued building the business until 1988 when it was sold to Horticulture World, which was part owned by local businessman Bob Johnston. Bob continued expanding the Big Banana into an educational showcase before undergoing a $30 million redevelopment that re- opened in June 1989. The Big Banana Fun Park now boasts the biggest Water Park between Sydney and the Gold Coast, a state-of-the-art Laser Tag Arena, Toboggan Ride, Ice-Skating Rink, “The World of Bananas” theatre and plantation tour experience, 36 hole Mini Golf course, Go Bananas Fun Zone, the biggest Giant Slide in the country, know as “The Racer”, Going Bananas Cafe, Gift and Souvenir shop, Candy Kitchen, Opal Centre, Reptile World, and 4D.”

Good old Ploddy the dinosaur was the first big thing in Australia I believe. He was erected in 1963.

[@gerardbryant4840]

Can't wait for the next video. Diamond pythons are my favourite snake species. According to legend the carpet snake got it's name because a sailor thought it looked the same as his mum's carpet. If you get a chance, you should try and see a reptile park during your trip. Visitors are usually allowed to hold the non venomous snakes as part of a show. Although, things may have changed since covid.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Most big things began as tourist traps found along major roads between destinations. The big things have become something of a cult phenomenon, and are sometimes used as an excuse for a road trip, where many or all big things are visited and used as a backdrop to a group photograph.

[@Jeni10]

Most of these big things are in rural areas, and they have them outside the property for tourists to find them, otherwise they could drive right past it without realising it was there.

Merino is a breed of sheep created in the 1800s in the area near Sydney. They are the source of premium Australian wool. Among the finest fibre wool in the world and part of the success to Australian wool industry

Actually they are from spain. Going back as far as the 12th century

[@helmuthschultes9243]

@@RobReacts1 I do not have full background but breeding multiple sheep breeds, the super fine wool of Australian Merino were created by breeding his stock by one of the early military of the British penal colony, his name kind of is rusty, but Macarthur rings a bell. These days the breeding line has also been permitted to be exported. Australian Merino wool still fetches premium prices. And stir is a big part of Australian income on world exports. Yes mining is far higher now, but wool is also major primary produce.
