Steem Wars Day 3: Home: TeamAustralia Submission by Private Shazza
Okay, after a minor hiccup on Day 2 where I -Private Shazza - was practicing the 80's retro music on Singstar so hard I slept through the whole offensive, we are back and ready for duty.
Day 3 Battle Cry: 'Uplift. Inspire. Need pictures of home towns, cities, sights, amusements, attractions.'
Well after a good old think about it, over a coldie, what's more inspiring than our obsession with all things "BIG"
We do things in a big way. As I'm sure you've already seen recently we have big crocs with big teeth, big kangaroos with big pockets and big koalas that drop out of the trees to devour anyone not smeared in vegemite.
(That makes total sense if you read this: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@shellyduncan/steem-wars-beware-the-drop-bear)
There's a big desert with a big rock, there's a big reef with some big sharks, and there are big ol' roads that criss-cross this country so you can take a big ol' fashioned road trip!
And on that road trip you might just see some big Aussie icons!
If you're getting a bit peckish and feel like something light - we could throw together a fruit salad
There's the Big Apple in Stanthorpe, Queensland
The Big Mango in Bowen, Queensland
and of course everyone's favourite stop on the way through Coff's Harbour, NSW - The Big Banana
The Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Check out @diginaut for a full run down of this very important historical aussie icon from our very own Minister for Propaganda

Maybe you feel like a bit of seafood instead...
The Big Barramundi (best eating fish in Oz!)
or go a bit fancy with Lobster in Kingston South Australia
Need something to wash it down with.. No worries, mate, we got that super sized as well.
The Big Wine Bottle at Mangrove Mountain
Another Big Wine Bottle in McLaren Vale South Australia.
And maybe just one more in Wentworth New South Wales
Finally after a few of those drinks you are going to need to be extra careful of the wild life.. As you know we do all that bigger in Australia...
...like Big Earthworms in Gippsland Victoria
And definitely be on the look out for Big Koalas (They could be Drop bears disguised as tourist attractions!)
And you would probably come off second best against our Boxing Crocodile in Humpty Doo, Northern Territory
And this doesn't even scratch the surface, we got, big galahs, big sheep, big cows, big rum bottles, big shells, big beer bottles, , big scotsmen, big guitars, big bushrangers, even a big chook!
So come on over and take a gander.. we can supersize with the best of them!
Til next time
Steem on with Love and Light

There used to be a big quokka in Perth too!
In support in steemwars, i came here to upvote☝
thanks so much @albertvhons
Thanks for sharing. Cool to see all those supersize replicas. Is this something that popped up in the last 15years? Never heard of it when I was there in beginning of 2000.
They have always been there, hiding in the wings, waiting for unsuspecting victims!
I went to a ton of these when I was growing up so they've been around... a few decades anyway :)
I probably just followed the touristic tracks or I had done something that blocked my memory... 😜
Wow that's a really good post Shelly. I have been to a lot of those places , it's like a trip down memory lane. Thanks for that
Thank you so much for that big upvote you gave me to, very kind.
I would love to return the favor but my steem i so low. I will give you some when it comes back up though, for now i can resteem this post for you, and yes @bearone is very talented and kind to do the beautiful banners for us.
Great job and thanks again : o)
It's a fine time for a family to come into these places and make some memories together @shellyduncan
I thought the big wine bottles were the standard size for a schooner in Oz? Nice post.
