Big T-Rex – South Brisbane

Just around from the Cicada, over at the Queensland Museum you’ll find this guy, again a little bit of a cheat as he is a museum display (a very dark path to go down to start including, Museum displays, into Big Things lists)

Big Cicada – Southbank

This Cicada sits at the end of a bus platform, in between the Cultural Centre Precinct (Museum, library, Art Gallery, Theatre) and seems definitely more on the ‘Art Sculpture’ side than the ‘Big Things’ list. I still think it’s big, so heck it’s getting included.
