The BIG XXXX Beer Can Koumala QLD 

Ranked, Scored and Reviewed!

 OVERALL SCORE of the BIG XXXX Beer Can (Koumala, QLD)

41 / 100

Free? / Something to 'do' there? 

It's Free - Yes, have a drink / meal @ the pub during business hours

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. 

Size Score

(How Big is the BIG XXXX Beer Can, Koumala?)

7/10 (It scores higher for size than the BIG XXXX beer cans spread throughout Brisbane City)

"Impressive-ness" Score

1/10

"Quite a let down"

It's a giant painted water tank, which is also damaged and needs repainting (as of June 2023). There is little to no creativity. When you see it in it's flesh you'll see not many people are stopping to take a photo of the monument. If you're driving past, it's unfortunatley; not even worth stopping for; definitely not worth going out of your way; and for these reasons - it landed in the "Disappointment List"

"Detail" Score

2/10

"Effort"  Score

(Can it easily be replicated?)

3/10

(Compared to other Big Things)

2/10

3/10

"Access"  Score 

(Is it easily accessed for great photos?) 

4/10 - Lost some points because it's guarded by a fence and some hedges blocking its view

Parking Friendly? Caravan / Camper Trailer Friendly? 

10/10

Easily located?

9/10 - Just follow the main road through Koumala - you can't miss the "yellow painted water tank" 

"Kid's Excitement" Score

0/10 

Koumala, QLD have been put on the map with an 'ICONIC' BIG THING/ Monument; unfortunately it's just not that 'Iconic'. In fact it made the disappointment list. The BIG XXXX Beer can lacks creativity and accessibility. It's essentially a big yellow painted water tank. To get people's attention for the pub you could essentially erect a billboard and paint / professionally sign a giant XXXX beer can and have it in a better position for viewing and it would look a lot better. If you're driving out of your way for this one, don't! We stopped and grab some photos anyway for the collection and ratings/reviews. But if you can avoid going through Koumala or save yourself time stopping, then you definitely won't be missing out on much by skipping this one.
