SPECIAL TALK –
The ‘Big Things’ of Oz – Man Made & Natural
Well-travelled storyteller Diane Pass has explored 31 of the 52 U.S.
states, more than 60 countries, and every corner of Australia — but some
of her most unforgettable memories come from the quirkiest landmarks
of all.
Growing up in Oz means growing up with the legendary “Big Things” —
the giant roadside icons scattered across cities, towns, and tiny villages
nationwide. From oversized fruit to colossal animals and everything in
between, these playful monuments embody Australia’s unique spirit of
fun, humour, and larrikin charm. They make you laugh, pull over, and
snap a photo — whether you planned to or not.
In this entertaining and visually rich presentation, Diane shares the stories, culture, and character
behind these iconic landmarks and in a surprising twist, asks you to consider the impact of ‘Nature’s
Big Things’ in Oz. Whether you’ve already fallen in love with Australia or are dreaming of visiting one
day, you’ll leave inspired — and with a brand-new bucket list of Big Things you’ll want to see for yourself.
