During the recent Easter school holidays, Library staff member Deb and her family set off on a road trip around Victoria with a mission: to see as many ‘big things’ as possible.
Decked out in their special ‘Big Things’ t-shirts, Deb’s family and three other families racked up thousands of miles to make it to 16 big Aussie icons.
Deb says: ‘Suffice to say with 8 kids and 8 adults in tow, our road trip was anything but boring!’
1. The Big Mallee Fowl at Patchewollock
2. Arnold the Big Murrary Cod at Swan Hill
3. The Big Strawberry at Koonoomoo
4. The Big Ned Kelly at Glenrowan
5. The Big Earthworm at Bass
6. The Big Cow at Newhaven
7. The Big Wave at Newhaven
