This is the Tranquillusionist, in which I, Helen Zaltzman, say a load of deliberately boring words to distract your interior monologue from whatever dystopian stew it is in. Today: a list of the Big Things of Australia.
The Allusionist is on tour in Australia with the new live show Your Name Here, all about eponyms. Before you get too tranquil, visit theallusionist.org/events for dates and tickets to the remaining shows in Australia and the upcoming ones in Aotearoa New Zealand. Hurry!!
OK, back to tranqullity.
EXTRA MATERIALS:
It was surprisingly difficult to compile the list of Big Things - I couldn’t find a definitive one. Useful resources were bigthingsofaustralia.com, myrigadventures.com, thistravellife.com and Max Grenkowitz.
Relative sizes of the Big Things.
Go on a Big Things road trip!
For a gallery of some of the Big Things I have encountered, scroll down to the bottom of this post.
