The big prawn, one of Australia's iconic "big things" sits beside the Bunnings car park on January 30, 2021 in Ballina, Australia. The giant crustacean is available for public viewing at all hours of the day and night. The Big Prawn stands 9 metres high and weighs 35 tonnes. The restoration cost to add a tail and give the prawn a much needed makeover cost Bunnings $400,000 in 2013 after it was originally built in 1989.
