Marty Goes to Bowen

In Australia, we have a funny trend of making 'Big Things'. They have to be bigger than real-life, and artificial to be counted as a 'Big Thing'. I tried to visit the ones I passed on the way to Sydney.

This snake is in a national park in Ayr. I had to pose with the man, because I am a mouse, so a snake is understandably scary.

For lunch, we stopped in Bowen. Bowen is the town that a lot of scenes in the movie 'Australia' were filmed. I sat on the beach with my Hunky Hugh Jackman pie, dreaming of Nicole Kidman.

On the way out of Bowen, I passed another Big Thing. Bowen is famous for mangoes, so they have their very own Big Mango. Here I am with my locally made mango icecream.
