Big Cow –Yandina

Update: She's gone! On January 10th 2020 she was donated and shipped away to Highfields Pioneer Village, Toowoomba in the hopes for a full restoration. Read more here.

I remember coming to the Big Cow back when I was youngster, when you could (if memory serves me correctly) actually go inside. Not sure if the new owners are the fun police or if health & safety laws got a whole lot stricter 20 years down the track, either way it’s a shame. The cow on the other hand is, amazingly rad, even with her chipped paint job. She’s also five times the size of a normal cow, definitely deserving of a Big Things title unlike *cough* Rockhampton *cough* Underwood *cough* Mareeba, that’s right, I’m looking at you and your life-sized bulls!

Not So Big Gun + Cows (or are they bulls?) – Underwood

Two words - don’t bother. I don’t know much about guns but this thing looks straight out of a war movie, no magnification provided! Also life-sized cows don’t count. I hereby remove them all from the Big Things of OZ, Big list!
