Big Animal Travel: Battle Over Big Frog Down Under

July 16, 2008 at 9:20 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

All around Australia you'll find odd big things, like the Big Banana or the Big Potato, and this year the town of Yungaburra in Queensland has added another: a Big Frog.

But it's proving controversial. A local artist made the giant sculpture for the top of the local Frog's Takeaway and gas station complex, and now the council says it's not approved and must be taken down.

Plenty of Yungaburra residents support the frog--fair enough, in a town where there are more frogs than people--but we have to wait and see whether or not we can add it to our list of Big Stuff to see in Australia.
