It took us a few laps around town but eventually we came upon good ol’ Larry the Lobster. The idea for Larry was first conceived in the mid 1970s and after six months of construction he was completed in 1979. Standing at 17 meters, Larry is reportedly one of the more impressive of Australia’s Big Things. The story goes that he was never meant to be quite so large. The plans were marked out in feet but the developer began building according to meters. Who knows if that’s the truth but it’s a funny story, nonetheless.
Now you can visit Larry and have a meal at his nearby seafood restaurant. The food is supposed to be pretty good if you like that sort of thing. Just don’t try to use the bathroom without making a purchase or leaving a donation. There are plenty of signs letting you know it’s not appreciated.
