Bigger, better and brighter than ever, Liz! It’s ALMOST good enough to eat 😀

Red, The Big Prawn – A perfect first post for Saturday Critters… loved it. Now shall we make everyone out there in colder climes jealous, when I ask ‘Are you throwing a prawn or two on the barbie on Christmas Day?!!’
Have a great week

Just heard that the Big Prawn has been burned in the bushfires … so sad! 🙁

@FruitCake – Hahaha, I thought they HAD been!! But it’d be pointless re-locating them to Canberra, because it’s the only place in OZ where it seems we are indeed too old to learn!
@Pam – Oh, I always wondered what it would be like to actually live near a Big Thing!!! The orange looked rather faded last time I saw it … perhaps it’ll get lucky some day & get repainted to look like a sunset too!!!
@Marja – Yes, from a distance he actually looks good enough to eat!
@Hilda – Haha, funny that!! Apparently the crew who worked on the prawn had to sample LOTS so they could get the shape & colour right!! He’ll inspire many more meals yet, I think!
@PDP – It’ll be interesting to see if their sausage sizzles go up a notch & turn into seafood sizzles in Ballina?? If so, that just might entice me to visit Bunnings there!!
@Dianne – Come now! Where’s your sense of adventure?!?! At least I can say I’ve viewed the world through prawn-coloured glass …
