The BIG Easel, Emerald QLD

The BIG Easel really should be called the GIANT EASEL. It is truly one of the MOST IMPRESSIVE and iconic of the BIG thigns list. Its size is what we compared alot of other BIG THINGS to when we scored items on their scale. This Easel is equivalent to the height of a 7 storey building! 24 metres of awesome-ness! Which is why it's so impressive. The sunflowers and the detail are good (not the highest ranking) but its scale is what we all expect when we are going around to visit these BIG THINGS right? At the time of writing, this is the highest scoring BIG THING and definitely in the TOP 5 of the MOST IMPRESSIVE BIG THINGS in QLD. Getting to Emerald is quite a journey. You won't be disappointed by the BIG EASEL!

 OVERALL SCORE of the BIG EASEL (Emerald, QLD)

85 / 100

Free? / Something to 'do' there? 

Yes, it's Free /  "nothing to do @ the attraction" besides a large park and playgrounds for children. There are markets in the park some days of the week. 

We do not include "something to do" in the scoring system as we were of the opinion that this is irrelevant. Some travellers will want something to do; to entertain themselves and the kids. Others will be travelling through / doing the "big - bucket list" thing; don't care and perhaps prefer to see sites where you don't have to stop and pay for an attraction you have zero interest in.
