Kangaroos and Oversized Objects

When thinking of Australia, one of the first things that springs to mind for most is kangaroos. And, true to form, kangaroos are everywhere... In front yards, in parks, at the beach. Everywhere. Kangaroo roadkill is as ordinary as the lifeless raccoons often seen along highways in the American midwest. And while they are more heavily concentrated in specific areas, they are easy to spot more times than not. Another easy-to-spot entity is the "oversized object". Ranging from an oversized pineapple to an oversized whale or lobster, there are an estimated 150 oversized objects to be viewed across the Aussie countryside. So far I have witnessed, in all their oversized glory, the Big Banana in Coffs Harbor and the Big Prawn in Ballina.
