Our road trip to Adelaide also let me check stuff off another to do list. We squeezed in a visit to a couple of Australia's Big Things! Andrew and I love to see the wacky big things that Australia has to offer.

On our journey from Ballarat to the Coonawarra, on Tash's recommendation, we stopped at the Giant Koala in Dadswell. We took a few photos (cause there isn't much else to do there.) Cheeeeeeeeeeese!

We detoured especially to the tiny town of Gumeracha in South Australia to see the Big Rocking Horse. There is a funny sign at the Big Rocking Horse warning you not to look up when standing under the horse's rear end. It hasn't happened yet, but you never know.

This is just a slightly bigger than normal rocking horse.

Now, this is a BIG rocking horse.

We visited the Giant Koala and the Big Rocking Horse on our way to watch the 2nd Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval. On our trip we also visited Ballarat, Naracoorte Caves, the Coonawarra, Hahndorf and the Barossa Valley. Other entries from this trip include: Adelaide Oval.
