Big Apple at Spreyton. I went for a walk last night and there was an Apple pie, Apple strudel and Apple Charlotte on the ground. The streets were strangely desserted.

The Big Spud at Sassafras. This guy once had a chip on its shoulder. Despite being skewered in the …. well, I’m not an expert on potato anatomy …. but it could be an eye, I asked if it was happier now with the fame of the roadside position. It replied, “I yam.”

The Big Platypus at Latrobe. Platypus once walked into a bar owned by a duck, ordered and finished a drink, and asked for the cheque. Duck billed platypus.

There’s something fishy about Cressey – home of a Big Trout.

Howzat! The Big Cricket Stumps at Westbury. They were built in honour of Tasmania’s first Test cricket player, Jack Badcock, a local from nearby Exton. We bailed before the nightwatchman arrived. (This one’s for you, MD)

Big Coffee Pot at Deloraine. I feel I had been here before – I had a sense of deja brew.

“TAZ HUNGRY!” The Big Tassie Devil at Trowunna Wildlife Park – having a devil of a good time.

The Big Tassie Tiger at the Mole Creek Hotel. The story of Thylacines is tragic. Extensive trapping and hunting led to their probable extinction. On 7 September 1936 only two months after the species was granted protected status, the last known thylacine died from exposure at Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart. There have been many claims of sightings but none accurately documented. It was listed as extinct in 1986.

Devils @ Cradle sanctuary is also home to a Big Wombat….

…and of course, a Big Tasmanian devil.

Penguin is one of the many towns along this coastline where penguins come ashore at night. Here is The Big Penguin…at Penguin, promoting a good cause. Have you heard of the extinct species that used to cohabit with penguins? They were called pencilguins but were tragically erased.

The Big Rock Lobster at Hursey’s Seafood shop. “We were at the beach; Everybody had matching towels; Somebody went under a dock; And there they saw a rock; It wasn’t a rock; It was a rock lobster; Rock lobster……” B52’s

The Big Deck Chair at Callington Distillery at Oatlands

The Big Slide Rule at University of Tasmania Mathematics Department. In around 1622, William Oughtred of Cambridge (Oughtred son of Oughtred) combined two handheld rulers to make a device that is recognisably the modern slide rule. It was refined over the centuries and was in use for mathematicians and engineers (and me at school) up to the early 1970’s when the modern scientific calculator made the slide rule obsolete within a few years.

Did you hear about the mathematician who was afraid of negative numbers? He’d stop at nothing to avoid them.

The “Big Drop Possum of Doom.” We were warned earlier in the day about wild animals……….. and some are very wild! We knew about the perils of Dropbears on mainland Australia but here in Tasmania, they have the Drop Possums of Doom! Now we know why the trees are so big too.

The Big Raspberry at Westaway at a raspberry farm – another addition to our jam-packed day.

Wandin Valley Farms have a huge cherry production every summer and home to The Big Cherry. After our disappointment at Wyuna earlier in our journey, this really adds the cherry on top of our day.

The Big Daffolils at New Norfolk – flower power!

What a Bee-hemoth – The Big Bee at Huonville. This man seems bee-reft of all commonsense. He is not bee-ing safe.

A quollity mural – not a Big Thing but very impressive.

Big Thumbs up in Scottsdale. What did the thumb say to the finger? I’m in glove with you. We were thumb-struck by its enormity.

Big Penguin and Big Penguin Chick at Low Head. They come ashore on the headland here to roost.

The Big Pelican sculpture at George Town – fits the bill.

The Big Metal Lobster at the Bicheno Lobster Shack. Did you hear that lobsters have formed their own political movement? They’re fighting for a just claws.
