Episode 8. The Adelaide man who inspired Australia’s obsession with Big Things
Australia’s obsession with Big Things didn’t start with Coffs Harbour’s Big Banana, Woombye’s Big Pineapple or Robertson’s Big Potato. It started here in Adelaide with a giant Scotsman that still stands sentinel over one of the city’s busiest intersections. Greg caught up with the man who kick-started that obsession, Adelaide artist Paul Kelly. Thanks this week to Paul and Pam Kelly, Ian Backler and Dr Amy Clarke.
