Enormous Lobster

Like Canada and the United States, Australia holds a certain fondness for big things. One of their most photographed roadside attractions is Larry the Lobster. This 17 metre tall crustacean designed in 1979 by Paul Kelly greets visitors to a local restaurant and tourism information booth. Over the years, Larry has accumulated some impressive fans: travel author Bill Bryson mentioned the big lobster in his book Down Under and in 2007 Australia Post featured Larry on a stamp in their Australian big things series
