Big Prawn to get the chop…

New South Wales roadside landmark destined for scrapheap (or BBQ)

A New South Wales council has approved the demolition of one of the states most recognisable roadside landmarks, Ballina’s Big Prawn.

As we reported at the beginning of August, city officials were to vote on the future of the giant fibre glass crustacean. And while a potential relocation (or even a replacement with a giant pelican) has not been ruled out, it now appears that the Big Prawn will soon be sent to the big shrimp cocktail in the sky.
