Australian Public tART

Pink Panther I've visited this one a few times (2016 & 2018) and was lucky enough to visit again in 2024 to get a photo of Mallory here.  She's a little hard to see gi…

BIG Goannas These two fighting goannas are the creation of Claire Murphy  of Claire Murphy Metal Art. She was commissioned by the Bassingthwaighte family, the new proprietors of…

BIG Smurf I struggled HARD with the idea of whether I should or shouldn't bother visiting this one. Like most items on my list the last thought is generally 'how often wil…

Kronosaurus I feel like this blog is slowly becoming a giant Mural database. I'm glad when I finally get to visit a 'BIG Thing' even if it's not to scale or even…

BIG Coffee Cup I once promised myself I'd stop pulling over for things like this, and yet, every time I see one I pull over and take a photo. The Coffee Cartel is home to th…

The BIG Banana Australia's most iconic BIG Thing but definitely not the first. The BIG Banana is roughly the fourth Australian BIG Thing if you consider the Luna Park Face (…

BIG Oyster I didn't think it was possible to find an artist more rad than Dr Favian Delari but I stand corrected. You may not have heard of the Mokany brothers, Attila and Lou…

The BIG Pie The best thing about my one month detour prior to my NSW - QLD drive was my ability to revisit places I didn't think I'd get to visit again. I missed this pi…

Vicki Couzins The Governments initiative to remove all entry level train crossings resulted in the bridge being constructed. The council approved this wonderful example of how pub…

Cardwell Molong I had seen pictures of this and I wasn't impressed. The photos never did the sculptures justice. The frog on the bicycle is actually quite large and the bee in…

BIG Pick & Pan High on every BIG Thing enthusiasts list is this bad boy located very close to Grenfells' amazing painted Silo . I didn't have enough light the night we…

Unknown Artist This was pinned to my map as a BIG Thing of Australia and like alot of things it's hard to determine whether I'd consider it a BIG thing or a large scale Pu…

BIG Man I almost missed this amazing man whilst walking past a louis Vuitton Store today. The colors from inside the store caught my eye. When the BIG Man took shape I stopped dea…
