Pic from http://australia.beimers.com/bike10.html Text from © 2004 Australian Big Things Type Other Stubby (Tewantin) Location Tewantin, QLD About House of Bottles situated at Tewantin is a house constructed of 14,000 bottles. These bottles range from fingernail-size to 20 gallons. The Giant Stubby is made of 17,000 bottles with a children's slippery slide attached. The oldest bottle on display is 2000 years old. The entire collection consists of approximately 5,000 bottles. The two toilets are made of about 5,000 bottles, making them a unique Queensland attraction. Original coloured sands souvenirs and tourist items are for sale. We noticed signs for "House of Bottles" and were intrigued enough to follow them. We discovered that the Big Stubby was just around the corner from the Big Shell! Stubby is the Aussie name for a small bottle of beer. The Big Stubby is 8.5 meters high, constructed of 17,000 stubbies and decorated to look like a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer. The amazing House of Bottles was built by bottle collector George Clifford of 35,000 bottles and houses a bottle museum which unfortunately we could not tour because we arrived at 4:50PM and they were about to close and not in the greatest mood, probably because they'd had to work and missed out on the Noosa beach party. Apparently in the backyard of the House of Bottles there is a Wee Stubby, a miniature child-sized House of Bottles. Awe inspiring!

Not strictly big, rather an actual sized real submarine (HMS Otway) sunk into the ground at Holbrook. More of a subterrain really. I decided to include it on the grounds that it is out of context.

Among the sundial-lovers fraternity, Singleton rates a high mention. A sign apparently claims this one to be the biggest sundial in the world, but there are very large ones in India and Sweden too.
