Now, *this* is how to spend Bloomsday! Come on over for the fun!
multiculturalism is pretty great
Driving south of Cairns (Australia) we passed by the AWESOME oddity known as the Ayr Nature Display. What a display: a mind-blowing collection of shells, butterflies, eggs, beetles, artfully arranged in half of a lovely retro house. And it's for sale! Save Ayr Nature Display (or at least visit)!
Driving from Cairns (Australia) to Melbourne we discovered the country looooves BIG things. And sometimes has royalty visit them. Here are a few of the greatest BIG things we spotted on our drive, starting out (naturally, if you know me and "Tune in Tomorrow") with the BIG MANGO. 🥭🧵 1/

More BIGNESS awaits in Australia, though, and oddly is usually food related... 🧵2/
Then there's "The Big Potato/The Big Pig" which started out as a potato-shaped rock in Robertson, but in 2025 artist Samuel Hall painted it in honor of the anniversary of "Babe" which was, apparently, partially filmed in the area.
What BIG stuff did I miss in Australia, folks? 🐷 🧵4/4
If not food, then often the BIG THINGS in Australia are animal related or ... um, rather sharp and murdery....
And if you go to the backside of the BIG MERINO you will discover two other big things there (sorry/not sorry I didn't take a pic) 🧵3/
