The Big Things That Aren't Big Enough to Be Found

No doubt the last few months of dedicated Jaunted reading have convinced you to pack up everything and take a Big Things tour of Australia. When the idea of a road trip taking in impressive sights like the Big Banana, Big (Ugly) Koala and Big Potato even makes it into Wikipedia, it's got to be a winner.

But when you're out there, be on the lookout for some of the missing Big Things in Australia. The doing-it-for-love curator of the unofficial Australian Big Things website has an ongoing list of Big Things that are rumored to exist, but are yet to be confirmed with photographs and facts. Among other oversized excuses for tourist attractions that are allegedly lost in Australia, you should watch for a big giraffe (a little irrelevant in kangaroo-covered Australia), a big shark (fair enough), a big lemon, a big watermelon (big fruit's always a winner) and, in a continent really quite far from the natural habitats of these creatures, a big lion and a big tiger. It might be a good thing that these Big Things aren't really on the map.
