The last of the “Big Things of Australia” that I photographed (I think), the Big Trout is a 10-meter-high, 2.5-ton fiberglass model in Adaminaby, New South Wales, a popular fishing spot for trout. The scales were produced by covering the work in mesh, adding a final layer of fiberglass, and then removing the mesh before it set. For more Big Things, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_things_(Australia) It's too bad there was no internet when we lived there because if there had been, I could have researched where more of these big things were located, although from the Wiki list it looks like a lot of them were built well after we left.
