The Big Prawn

At a height of nearly 30 feet and weighing almost 40 tons, this prawn boasts the title of “The World's Largest Artificial Prawn.”
The Big Prawn was built in 1990 to celebrate the local prawning industry. It was designed by South Australian sculptor James Martin, who came up with the idea for a 27-metre prawn, made of steel and concrete, weighing 33 tonnes. This prawn was to be 30,000 times larger than a real prawn, or twice the size of a humpback whale!
