Hi Megan, the Big Orange Lady in Mildura is no longer in existence and the Big Keys in Port Augusta are inside a Primary School Grounds, which are locked in behind a tall metal fence. taking any sort of picture around this area just makes one look like a dirty pedo. You might want to consider updating the map. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid this is the transient nature of public art. One day it's there, the next, it is not. Stores close and with it the beloved icons they erect to promote their stores go with them. Covid especially has been unkind to our roadside fare. Perhapes when things settle down I'll consider an overhaul of the map but I'm currently focused on completing my Sydney map challenge :)
DeleteThe Big IceCream Sunday (Sundae) and The Big Fruit Bowl in Coober Pedy don't exist any more either.
ReplyDeleteJust stopped in at the Big Hen in Meredith, Vic. Sadly she is just a pile of steel structure. RIP Big Hen
