I tend to avoid any menu that mentions Harmful Bacteria. Let alone calories. Or oz. Whatever they both are.

It’s Australian for beer and YOUR national drink. The official libation of the land down under.

Off topic - but never forget the time when a bunch of young squids walked into an Irish pub and proudly ordered Fosters. Could have heard a pin drop. While this pub was in Detroit, the graffiti in the men’s room wasn’t the typical stuff you see, but hard core IRA stuff, so this wasn’t your typical “Irish pub”

I think I can settle this.

At Ballina in New South Wales, it is called the Big Prawn, not the Big Shrimp. It is largest prawn in Australia.

Ballina's fishing fleet are mainly prawn trawlers. Plus in North Creek branching off the Richmond River (at Ballina) there are yabbies, not shrimps you can pump out of the sand flats. My parents retired to Ballina and I visit often.

Trust me, having stood next to it, it is really, really big. A nice picture after it was recently restored. It is now in the car park of the local Bunnngs Hardware store. The prawn started life with the top half coming out of the roof of a petrol station/visitor centre. It grew the tail when Bunnings bought the land and saved the icon. It is now weighs 35 metric tonnes as you see it.

Australia loves big things, like the Big Prawn, the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple and the Big Merino to name a few. Here is a list Australia's 31 big things. There is even a Nygnan's Big Bogan towards the end of that article.

Prawn for the win!

They are often done to get tourists to come through a town.

More recently they have moved to Silo Art, a lot of which is amazing:

A whole website on all the various Silos across Australia called the Australian Silo Art Trail:

Australian Silo Art Trail

The Australian Silo Art Trail is a collection of painted silos and water towers across Australia. It connects rural communities through art and tourism and gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to experience Australia's number one road trip.

One of my favorite trails is the Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail, all made from scrap and started by Milynda Rogers on Boongoondoo Station (Ranch to you Americans). Also known as the "Scrapmetalsheila". I drove the whole trail in one day, I was having so much fun and I did find Wally!

I have seen a couple of the silo ones before and they are very impressive. Had a look through the link and it's really impressive. I can see how it would help the local economy as they would be well worth going to see.

I can emphasise with that. A few weeks back I popped over to Belgium to collect my auxiliary fuel tank , and whilst there decided to have a few beers in Ghent. I was desperate to find Primus beer as I remembered it being so good whilst in Congo and we could get nothing else. Try finding it in Belgium ! Most establishments say we wouldn’t drink that stuff. So old fashioned it seems. I found one establishment that served it and it was OK. Nowhere near as good as it tasted back in Congo. There are far better Belgium beers to be had.
