Thread: Interesting Temperature

Don't forget the big Captain Cook in Cairns & the big trout in Adaminaby.

Missed a few though..........

The big Murray Cod at Tocumwal is the first big anything commissioned in Australia (according to the people of Tocumwal). It was not the first erected as someone else beat them to it. It's not as big as the one at Swan Hill but it's a lot more realistic.

Theres a big worm somewhere in Gippsland.

All things BIG

Big Trout .. Adamintaby
Big Guitar .. Tamworth
Big Mother of a hole in the ground .... Arizona
Big Prawn .. Ballina

And i think there is a place in QLD with a big Rockmelon

The answer to your question is not really what you want to hear. (150 Km almost due north.) However driving the route would be about 300 Km.

Indio is on Interstate 10 or the main route between Los Angeles and Phoenix. (360 miles) Baker is on Interstate 15. Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 are the main routes between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. (270 miles)

It's easy to get the two routes confused. I mean once you've seen one desert rock, you've seen them all.

Recently, SWMBO and I were returning from Phoenix. SWMBO says, "Let's stop in Baker for lunch." (The Greeks is much better than the Thermometer.) I said, "Wrong road. wrong trip, wrong city." The argument continued until SWMBO looked at a map.

Hey, I did the same at the Equator, but I have the excuse that I was a bit younger then

Your wife can read a map? You have a treasure there

Muswellbrook has a big dog; Supposedly a blue cattle dog, but to my mind the proportions are all wrong. Despite their claim to being the home of the blue healer, it looks more like a mongrel to me. I don't think anyone would want to own it!

The Big Rocking Horse is located Gumeracha at "The Toy Factory". I believe that the Big Rocking Horse was closed & people can no longer climb up to the top viewing platform. It was deemed a safety risk by the insurance companies so they hoiked the insurance premiums through the roof.:mad: The only recourse was to close it down.

Rocker, is that a Simcar Aronde that you are purched on in your photo? Don't see them around any more.

What about the big bloody Galah here in SA at Kimba!
And dont forget the big playschool.... in Canberra!

Barry,

I think you are right; it was a Simca, but it wasn't mine - it belonged to a mate. But I do remember that it had no guts; it would grind to a halt on really steep hills. The picture was taken in 1963.
