We’re on a mission to find Australia’s Shittest Big Thing, and we need your help! Our expert panel of shitologists have shortlisted 32 of the country’s most cringeworthy concrete creatures, fibreglass fruits and other oversized embarrassments, and organised them into a knock-out bracket. Vote in our last eight first-round ties below, and keep an eye out for an earlier email with the first eight votes.
The Captain Cook in Cairns is no longer there, and he was evicted because they are developing the site. It was purchased for $1 and is headed for Atherton Tablelands to a holding facility. Cairns is still celebrating the removal of this very ugly and inappropriate monstrosity.
Marysborough was the birthplace of Mary Poppins writer P.L Travers, so the fact that they decided to waste money on a Ned Kelly statue shows how dumb they are
Bathurst has the Gold Panner, where there isn't any gold left in the joint. It was all knocked off by the poms back in the 1880's and sent to their sh*ty home towns in sh*ty england.
I agree with Darren Burtoft. The Giant Dump is even shaped like a septic tank (Not a Yank, but a real septic tank) Fill it with shit and it would even have the realistic sense of smell to go with it.
The Big Potato!, the absolute shittest shit Big Thing there is - owing to the fact it actually resembles a Big Shit! lol
And it was listed for sale a couple of years ago with an asking price over $900,000
...for a Turd.......lol

The big lobster at Kingston SE in South Australia.
Why isn’t the big lobster in Kingston on this list
It was in part 1: https://shittownsofaustralia.substack.com/p/australias-shittest-big-thing-pt
Totally missed that. My apologies.
I did notice you wrote about Queenstown TAS and I’m coincidentally staying the night here laughing my ass off about how shit it is.
The restaurants are so horrible that I decided to go get ripped off at an IGA to eat Vegemite on toast.

You missed the Big Croc in Wyndham WA
The big potato looks more like a big turd 💩
Went to cairns two days ago and the captain cook had been taken down for his hitler salute 🫡
I’m sure you have missed the big “cigar” in Churchill Victoria or perhaps they were so embarrassed by it they already pulled it down.
Hell that was hard. Some if not all are equally horrible.
There actually is a........Big Poo: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/big-poo
The big banana is extra shit because it says THE BIG BANANA on it. Thanks for clearing that up.
