About
This larger-than-life Big Thing is one of Australia's most recognisable roadside attractions. Standing 10 metres tall and stretching an impressive 70 metres long, Larry is impossible to miss. His most famous feature? A 70-metre slide tongue, which makes him a guaranteed hit with kids. Larry celebrates Australia's unique wildlife in a fun, family-friendly way, and he's just as memorable whether you've seen a real lizard in the wild or not. Big, bright and full of personality, he's the kind of stop that turns a quick break into a highlight. The playground element adds an interactive dimension that makes this more than just a photo op — kids can actually play on Larry, which is a rare treat among Big Things. Located in Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley, Larry has become a local icon and a beloved part of the community. Whether you're travelling with the family, collecting Big Things for your Passport, or just passing through on a longer road trip, Larry is well worth the stop. Take a photo, let the kids burn off some energy, and tick off another classic Big Thing. It's these quirky, creative touches that make Australian road trips so special. Free to visit, open all year round, and easy to access whenever you're nearby. 🦎📸
