Big Axe

Pull over and say g'day to Big Axe, one of New South Wales's most entertaining roadside attractions and a true Aussie classic. Timber industry heritage. This impressive structure has become a beloved landmark in Kew and a symbol of the region's unique character. Big Things are a uniquely Australian phenomenon — oversized sculptures that started in the 1960s as a way to attract tourists and celebrate local industries. Big Axe continues that tradition beautifully, giving travellers a reason to stop, stretch their legs, and appreciate the quirky creativity of regional Australia. Whether you're on a family road trip, ticking off your Big Things bucket list, or just passing through New South Wales and looking for a memorable photo op, this is a stop you won't regret. It's free to visit, easy to access, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. You can find it at coordinates -31.63, 152.72 — just punch those into your GPS and you're sorted. Jump out, grab a photo, and add the stamp to your Passport. Open all year round. 📸
