The Big Marlin, Cairns, FNQ

Another of the many “big” attractions around Australia. We saw this marlin in Cairns during a trip to Far North Queensland. According to the Big Things of Australia website, although this sculpture hasn’t attracted a lot of publicity, Cairns itself is known as a hub of marlin fishing.

I read that it’s in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Not on the tourist trail necessarily.

Can't say I've ever seen it. I wonder if it is still there. I'm not a fan of this "big things" fad anyway.

I've been in Cairns a couple of different times and had no idea that this sculpture existed. It's a pretty cool sculpture!!! Great shot of it.
