Wotif released the shortlisted finalists after their search around the country.
The Big Melon in Chinchilla (QLD), The Big Kilt in Glen Innes Highlands (NSW), The Big Peanut in Kingaroy (QLD) and The Big Tulip in Mittagong (NSW) were named on the list.
Dubbo residents had put forward a number of ideas, with the most popular The Big Rhino, missing out on a finalist position.
Wotif Managing Director, Daniel Finch reflects on the wave of entries submitted for the ‘Next Big Thing’.
“Collectively, the submissions reflect what makes Australian culture so unique. From the quirky, to the humorous, to the patriotic to the bold, with so many brilliant submissions, the Wotif team had the near-impossible task of choosing only a handful of entries to be shortlisted for public voting.
“The entries that stood out to us most showed a long-term connection to the local area and we’re confident that these final four ‘Big Things’, not only reflect the spirit of their respective town but will also make a positive impact to the local community.”
