The "Disappointment" List
Why is it on the "Disappointing List"?
We found that the monument/structure to be either unaccessable / extremely poor condition or in most cases - "UNDERWHELMINGLY SMALL" - "Not worth the drive just for the photo"
This list is no reflection of any business/quality of the business attached (in fact many of the businesses/attractions that are on this list are fantastic!) This is purely a ranking system if you were travelling all the way just for the "BIG THING PHOTO" / Ticking them off the List

The Disqualified LIST!
There are two major reasons why a BIG THING made our DISQUALIFIED LIST
1. The BIG THING WAS deemed NOT BIGGER than its "real-life counter part" ie. "The BIG Wave" and some of the " Big Whales" and "Big Crocodiles"
or;
2. If a BIG THING has more than 5x IDENTICAL Monuments nation-wdie, it made our "Disqualified List". We deemed these locations lacked originality and creativity. It would like like listing every BIG M (at McDonald's) or every big KFC bucket you saw around the country - it would be boring.
Here is the List
BIG BULLDOGS (MACK TRUCKS) - Too Common and identical to each other
BIG CHAINSAWS (STIHL) - Too Common and identical to each other
BIG DOMINOS (DOMINOS PIZZA) - Too Common and identical to each other
BIG GENERATORS - Too Common & identical to each other

BIG KOALAS (PAINTED) - Once you start travelling around the country you'll see hundreds of larger than the real animal, but "small" painted koala moulds ... everywhere. They can be found in hundreds of towns and cities. Once you see more than a dozen, they are not very special at all and most of them are not that "Big". To name a few, We saw over 15 in Surfers Paradise, a further 30 in the Gold Coast alone. We saw 10+ in Brisbane, 20 in Sydney and 10 in Port Macquarie. After a while we stopped counting and stopped taking notice. We have not disqualied the "real" BIG Koalas that are have a natural grey colour and are bigger than a Lounge Chair.

Note:
Whilst there are multiple BIG NED KELLYS throughout the country; they're all original in attire and size. They also represented the areas in which WHICH NED KELLY comitted his crimes in Australian History.
Legend has it (The stories behind the BIG THINGS)
- Big foot took his BIG PAINTBRUSH to the BIG EASEL of Emerald, QLD but couldn't reach the canvas because the BIG EASEL was too BIG. He then threw the Paintbrush away with all his might and it landed in Sydney.
- Big foot has taken back both his BIG FISHING REELS to catch some new BIG FISH in Darwin
- Big foot sometimes wears two mis-matched boots. One is in Chermside, Brisbane atop a carsales yard; the other in Mt Tarampa, West of Brisbane. Big Foot, recently, (in 2020) came and took his Chermside Boot back. Locals say that a crane came and removed the boot; but the truth is BIG FOOT reclaimed it.
- Big foot tightened up the BIG NUT AND BOLT of Roma so tight with the BIG SPANNER - which he then hid up in Rubyvale, Nth QLD.
- Big foot is nearly 200 years old. He is now employing the tactics of NED Kelly and dresses up in different outfits, stands really still - posing as "NED KELLY Monuments" around the country. Sometimes, if you watch really close through the gap of his armoured helmet, you can see Big Foot's eyes blinking.
