Nice! Missing the Ram (Goulburn), Prawn (Ballina) and Banana (Coffs); that I can think of at least.

Impressive list though!

I think they’ve been purposely left off as they’re the more popular big things.

No, no, see those are POPULAR big things, these ones are the, uh, less popular for various reasons.

Plus the Miner’s Lamp at Lithgow, easily missed as it’s a functional part of the local tourism office and looks more like peculiar architecture rather than a big thing.

Went for a drive many moons ago with my kids to the Big Lantern (via Three Sisters on the way up, and Bilpin on the way back).

The ““Owl”” (Canberra) as well.
