The Big Prawn, Ballina, NSW
Our Daily Challenge ... night using available light.
Ballina's Big Prawn is one of Australia's iconic "big things". It was built in 1989, stands 9 metres high and weighs 35 tonne.
In 2013, Bunnings bought the land on which it stood for their new warehouse and they decided to keep the prawn, which was really showing it's age, and to restore to "better than new". The restoration consisted of adding a tail and giving it a realistic paint job. The much needed makeover cost Bunnings $400,000.
