Kangaroo Location Border Village, SA About 'Rooey II' the Big Kangaroo, is found at Border Village - on the border between South Australia and Western Australia. Rooey stands about 5 metres tall and is holding a can of soft drink. We've heard that 'Rooey I' used to hold a can of beer, but it was felt that it sent the wrong message to visitors. So it was changed to something softer. Here's cheers anyway, Rooey.

You can find it on the Western Highway in the Grampians, between Melbourne and Adelaide. Yes, you can go inside the Koala for all the usual tourist goodies. The 1970s and 80s were boom years for the building of Big Things, and the Big/Giant Koala was completed in 1989.

Maybe a Big Kangaroo or a Big Barbeque, but they're cuddlier even if they reputedly piss on you if you're cuddling them. This fine Big Koala (complete with a sign saying please don't climb on the koala) is on Phillip Island, Victoria. Unfortunately, my pic of the Big Koala corrupted and only the thumbnail was retained. But I thought I must share it with you.

The Big Koalas can be found at the Coffs Harbour Zoo in Coffs Harbour, NSW. You can check out the little, but real koalas sleeping inside the zoo too.
