     The Big Chef                          and Big Pirate

                       

                     Remember these favorites from Caribbean Gardens? I think the head is now gone. At uni, some guys stole the pirate for a scavenger hunt but couldn't get him under the power lines at the main gate, so they left him on Wellington Road. Doh!

The Big Yabbie?

I saw this picture inside the Big Orange at Berri (they actually have a reasonable selection of Big Things). The girl behind the counter reckons she saw it in Mildura near the old gaol on a school trip when she was 7...and it was blue, but the only old jail around here is in Wentworth and I didn't see one when I was there.  So.....one for the X-files!
