The Big Wheelbarrow

Located in the industrial port town of Port Hedland in Western Australia, the Big Wheelbarrow is a unique and eye-catching landmark that symbolizes the town's rich mining heritage. Situated at the Port Hedland Visitor Center, this oversized sculpture is a nod to the hard work and resilience of the people who built the region's mining industry.

The Big Wheelbarrow was constructed as a tribute to the thousands of workers who have been a part of Port Hedland's mining history. The town is a critical hub for the iron ore industry, with large quantities of ore being exported to countries around the world.  

The wheelbarrow was constructed from parts of an ore truck called a Haul pack, used for mining iron ore. It's located at the entrance to the light industrial area and has become an amusing local landmark. 

This is just one example of the hundreds of Big Things located across Australia.
