I recently visited the "big thing" in Tocumwal and was thoroughly impressed! It's a fantastic landmark right in the main street, and I learned it was the second 'big thing' built in Australia. It's perfect for a photo opportunity and makes for a memorable stop during your journey.

Although it's not a massive structure, the location is excellent. It's a great spot to break up your trip, especially with the convenience of a bakery, cafes, and a park close to the river. There’s plenty of parking nearby, making it easy to access and enjoy.

One of the highlights of this stop is the proximity to the Murray River. After grabbing a bite from one of the nearby cafes, you can take a short walk up to the riverbank for a lovely view. It’s an ideal place to relax and stretch your legs whether you're traveling to or from Melbourne.

Overall, this spot offers a pleasant break from driving with the added bonus of good food and scenic views. I highly recommend pulling over to take a look and enjoy the surroundings. You won’t be disappointed!
