Have you heard about big things in Australia?

No?

As the name implies, big things are big structures created mainly to attract visitors to nearby tourist spots or to represent a speciality in that region.

A drive from Melbourne to Perth will give you an opportunity to look at some of the big things in Australia.

Some are really good and worth visiting.

I have arranged them in order of their presence from Melbourne to Perth. Hence, it should be easy for you to follow.

Here you go.
